SUNDAY'S CHILD

 

'Sunday's Child' was part of the London AIDS Histories and Cultures Festival 2018, as a rehearsed reading performed at The Glory, London, and Birkbeck, University of London. The rehearsed reading at Birkbeck was kindly funded by the University of London’s Department of Humanities.

​

The play explores the origins, immediate and long-term impact of Clause (Section) 28 on the gay community and thirty years later upon the individual.

​

It begins in 1987 with the initial fallout of Section 28, and fast forwards to thirty years later, when a gay couple face the lived realities of seemingly progressive social change. The play explores a growing gulf in the gay community between those who benefit from a centre-right political direction, and those who can neither forgive nor forget 1988, and Section 28 in the shadow of the AIDS crisis.

​

Following our rehearsed readings and feedback, we are developing ‘Sunday’s Child’ further and are in the process of applying for funding. Watch this space. Hopefully we’ll have good news soon.
