Omnibus Theatre announce the return of 96 Festival, London’s longest running queer arts festival; twice as big as last year and back by popular demand!
A glittering line-up of artists will set up camp at Omnibus Theatre for a spectacular celebration of queerness and theatre. A no holds barred extravaganza of theatre, comedy, cabaret, music, art and activism; now in its 9th year, 96 Festival has been conceived in remembrance and celebration of the iconic Pride party on Clapham Common in 1996.
Highlights of this year’s jam-packed festival programme include:
• JOE CARSTAIRS headlines the festival; a new biopic fusing physicality, words and music, offering a fresh
look at one of the 20th century’s boldest queer figures. 4 – 22 JUN
• GEORGE also headlines in the story of French writer George Sand, who daringly defied all rules of living
and writing in 19th century France. 25 JUN – 14 JUL
• HASBIAN, a queer coming-of-age comedy tells the true story of growing up in Brighton (the UK’s Gay
Capital) under Section 28, set to a soundtrack of y2k pop classics. 25 – 29 JUN
• STANDING IN THE SHADOWS OF GIANTS, an autobiographical play about being a rockstar (‘s sister) in
the early 00’s. 24 – 29 JUN
