Join us for a night of sparkling new short stories that dream about a better world seen through a queer lens.
We've invited 8 artists from York and Scarborough to write new plays that explore how our collective experiences can propel climate justice.
Performed by these writers trying out their new work for the first time, this event is produced by Roots, Yorkshire’s awarding-winning LGBTQIA theatre company (Happy Meal – Fringe First), and presented with the support of Fern Culture, York Theatre Royal and the Stephen Joseph Theatre.
Expect a wide range of voices and styles, guaranteed to keep you entertained!
