National Theatre Unveils Queer Theatre Event Series May 3rd 2017 National Theatre unveils Queer Theatre event series The National Theatre will mark the 50th anniversary of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in England and Wales by staging its first Queer Theatre event series from 6th – 10th July 2017. A group of world class actors and directors will look at how theatre has charted the LGBT+ experience through a series of rehearsed readings and post-show discussions in the Lyttelton Theatre. Launching the initiative, playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney said of directing a rehearsed reading of his play Wig Out!: “I feel grateful to be returning to the UK and reading this piece. As we continue better to understand ourselves and how we perform in the world I hope this investigation back into the 'ball scene' will be as exciting as it is important. #Alllove&Allpride.” Director Stephen Daldry said: "As a teenager Bent was the first play I ever saw on the London stage. Amazingly at a theatre I went on to be the director of. It was a devastating experience for a young gay man from a small market town in Somerset. I can honestly say the experience changed my life. The play went on to take London by storm. I am thrilled and honoured to direct a rehearsed reading of Martin Sherman's explosive play to mark this important anniversary." The NT’s Queer Theatre event series is hosted in partnership with Pride in London and includes: Neaptide by Sarah Daniels (1986), Thursday 6th July 7.30pm Directed By Sarah Frankcom Neaptide was the National Theatre’s first full-length play by a female playwright. It presents a ferocious but funny account of the public and private battles of a lesbian mother in the 1980s, alongside the ancient myth of Demeter & Persephone. Having recently come out to her family, Claire now faces a bitter custody battle and uncertainty over her teaching career. 1 Wig Out! by Tarell Alvin McCraney (2008), Friday 7th July 7.30pm Directed by Tarell Alvin McCraney Witness the fiercest battle in New York as the House Of Light compete with the House Of Diabolique for drag family supremacy at the Cinderella Ball. When Eric meets Wilson, it’s a good old-fashioned boy meets boy fairytale. However, when Wilson reveals his drag alter- ego Nina, questions of masculinity and gender come to the fore. In the tradition of Paris Is Burning, this big, bold and riotous play looks at gender, drag and fabulousness. Certain Young Men by Peter Gill (1999), Saturday 8th July 7.30pm Directed by Peter Gill ‘To be really queer you have to have someone nail your foreskin to a piece of wood and generally kick up a bit of a fuss.’ As the new millennium approaches, four gay couples illuminate the differences within the ‘gay community’. Is gay life defined by living in coupled suburban bliss or chasing casual sex? Bent by Martin Sherman (1979), Sunday 9th July 2.30pm Directed by Stephen Daldry Following Nazi Germany’s Night Of The Long Knives in 1934, gay lovers Max and Rudy are taken away to Dachau by the Gestapo. Desperate to avoid the dreaded Pink Triangle, Max claims to be Jewish. In amongst the horrors of the Camp, he meets Horst who wears his Pink Triangle with pride. The Drag by Mae West (1927), Monday 10th July 7.30pm Directed by Polly Stenham The play that scandalised 1920s New York follows respected, married socialite Rolly. Son of a homophobic judge and married to the daughter of an eminent gay conversion therapist, Rolly is keen to keep his homosexual tendencies under wraps. However, when he decides to host a drag ball in his drawing room, events soon spiral out of control. One of the first plays to shed light on gay counter-culture, Mae West’s rarely performed comedy was banned after ten performances. The Queer Theatre event series will coincide with the 2017 Pride weekend and tickets will be on sale from Friday 5th May, tickets include entry to each post-show discussion.

  • Sherman, Martin (B
    Sherman, Martin (b. 1938) by Bud Coleman Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2007 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Activist and fellow playwright Larry Kramer paid tribute to Martin Sherman by noting that he "has consistently written about his sexuality and has managed to make a living out of it." This is no small feat for an artist whose peers have more often than not created their art from inside the closet. Best known for his groundbreaking play Bent (1978), this iconoclastic playwright and screenwriter has created an impressive body of work. The only child of Russian-Jewish parents, Sherman was born in Philadelphia on December 22, 1938, but grew up in Camden, New Jersey. His father was an attorney. Yiddish was spoken at home; and as his grandparents were observant, they kept a Kosher home. Frequent theater trips to Philadelphia and New York City helped Sherman get through adolescence. Sherman was educated at Boston University, where he received a B.A. and an M.F.A. in theater. Although trained as an actor, he was early drawn to writing plays. He describes his early efforts as "terrible," though some were given Off-Off-Broadway productions by the Herbert Berghof Playwrights Foundation, including the one-act play Next Year in Jerusalem (1968). In Sherman's own account, a 1975 production of his play Passing By by London's Gay Sweatshop "was the first good production I'd ever had of anything." The story of the relationship between two men--a painter and a diver--in New York, whose bond is tested by illness and by their focus on career goals, Passing By and another early gay-themed play, Cracks (1975), set in the Los Angeles home of a recently murdered rock star, anticipate his breakthrough achievement in Bent but fail to rise to the latter's moral seriousness.

MAKE/ BREAK THE RULES Many of the pieces you would usually find in The Uniter are, by most definitions, on the short side. Our average story aims to land around the 500-word mark. it’s a tough assignment, and oftentimes, a word count of 500 feels like it’s not possibly enough. Most of the time, though, we stay in that range. The Uniter is a learning paper, and creating a 500-word piece is a distinct skill set. it requires practice, as well as cultivating precision and discernment. not everything can make it in – and that’s part of the joy of writing. The outtakes are like loose threads to be followed up another day. They can spring into new stories. Few pieces, once finished, give a writer the sense that they are, just as they are, enough. and often it’s this not-enoughness that spurs us forward, to tell more stories, to build a body of work that can incorpo- rate more angles, different perspectives, or simply the same story, revisited at a different time. This week, we have some notable excep- tions. One of the key elements of having a rule is knowing when to break it.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.
