Marlborough Theatre Commissions New Queers On The Block for Tour

New Queers on the Block is a fresh night of innovative performance touring the UK this September and October. Showcasing international queer work from Rachael Young, Hester Chillingworth, Stacy Makishi & Marikiscrycrycry and hosted by Ophelia Bitz, each town will also present a specially commissioned local LGBTQIA artist.

Venues and festivals in Hastings, Blackpool, Folkestone and Bradford play host to tour dates, produced and programmed by The Marlborough Theatre in Brighton. In most cases, these venues have never programmed any Queer-led work before. New Queers on the Block sees artists engaging with local audiences via a Local Ambassadors Programme especially designed to reach out to those who don’t attend theatre shows on a regular basis.

Expect short, punchy performances with themes such as a queer black woman channelling the power of Grace Jones, memories of a queer childhood, reclaiming your faith with the help of pop music and black melancholia through the legacy of Tupac.

       

Tour details:

20 September, 7.30pm The Marlborough Theatre
