  • 'We Are Concerned': a Public Reading of the Wolfenden
    ‘WE ARE CONCERNED’: A PUBLIC READING OF THE WOLFENDEN REPORT Sunday 11 June 2017, 4pm-late A special reading of the 1957 Wolfenden Report that led to the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1967 The Britten-Pears Foundation will be marking the 50th anniversary of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality with an event at The Pumphouse in Aldeburgh. It is part of the alternative Aldeburgh Festival in the unique setting of a former pumping station on the marshes. ‘We are Concerned’ will be a public reading of the sections dealing with homosexuality in the Wolfenden Report, a fascinating and historically significant document. Starting at 4pm, it will take approximately 5 hours and 15 minutes to complete. The Report will be divided into 30 sections, marked by logical breaks in the Report itself. Matters covered in the Report include: ‘Is homosexuality a disease?’; ‘Blackmail and courts’ and ‘Oestrogen and Castration treatments’. It concludes with the recommendation that ‘homosexual behaviour between consenting adults in private should no longer be a criminal offence’ – although some members of Wolfenden’s Committee (who prepared the Report) submitted several lengthy ‘reservations’, which will also be included in the reading. The Britten-Pears Foundation is delighted that human rights activist Peter Tatchell will be taking part along with other special guests, to be announced. The public will also be able to take part and can sign up now here: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080f45afaf2ca3f94-weare. Lucy Walker, curator of Britten-Pears Foundation exhibition ‘Queer Talk: Homosexuality in Britten’s Britain’ says: ‘The Wolfenden Report in 1957 triggered a decade long campaign that led to the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality.
