  After the Act

  Abseiling lesbians! Queers in classrooms! Perverts panicking parents!
  Thatcher's Section 28, which banned the 'promotion' of homosexuality in schools, was the landmark legislation that silenced a generation, offered a global blueprint for LGBTQ+ oppression and galvanised a movement.
  Billy Barrett and Ellice Stevens's After the Act is a funny, camp and unapologetically queer musical about how a moral panic gripped a nation – and a community decided to fight back. Its inspiring, often heartbreaking, stories of teachers, students and activists impacted by the legislation are accompanied by a joyously exuberant score written by Frew and inspired by the music of the 1980s.
  It was first produced in 2023 by the award-winning theatre and film company Breach at New Diorama Theatre, London, before performances during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and a UK tour in 2024.

  Ender: When I first met Gabe—a month after our best friends started dating each other—I expected awkward small talk and polite smiles. What I don't expect is the way he looks at me . . . like I'm important. Like he sees something worth knowing behind the walls I've built over the years. No one's ever looked at me like that before. Not my parents, who left me with scars deeper than silence. Not one person—except maybe my best friends, who taught me how to survive when love felt like a myth. But Gabe's presence stirs something unfamiliar within me. A warmth. A hope. A terrifying, beautiful ache. I don't know what these feelings mean, or if I'm ready to face them. All I know is . . . I want him to stay long enough for me to find out.Gabe: Life is finally falling into place—my best friend and I just opened our dream restaurant, and everything feels right. Then he meets someone special. Luckily, this someone special comes with a best friend who stops me in my tracks. Ender is quiet, guarded, and heartbreakingly beautiful. One night is all it takes for me to know I want more. Then, just as quickly as he lets me in, he shuts me out. With every red flag I find, I know I should run. Anyone would, but I can't. Because underneath all that pain and self-loathing is someone worthy. I need him, and I think he needs me.
