Part of Whose London Is It Anyway?, a festival of theatre, performance and discussion exploring the changing face of our capital city.
Welcome to the first ‘Whose London Is It Anyway?’ edition of our regular scratch night, The Big Bang: an explosion of performance from which new universes of theatre may one day emerge… These jam-packed platforms are highlights of any CPT season: the place to see wild & wonderful new projects take their first steps…
Pleasure Gardens by Freddie Machin
@Freddie_Machin
Pubs and clubs that champion the LGBTQ community are being closed down across London. The Royal Vauxhall Tavern was recently awarded listed building status – the first in England on the basis of its LGBTQ cultural significance – but the battle is not over, and dedicated queer spaces continue to fall. Based on interviews with cabaret artists, drag queens, property developers, and punters, Pleasure Gardens explores how the cultural landscape of London is changing as it becomes desirable to the super-rich – and how this impacts on vulnerable communities.
