CO-WRITER, DRAMATURG & ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR

An Elizabethan woman stitches a beard from her pubic hair to marry the woman she loves. A Punjabi-speaking Muslim girl tries to make her parents understand who she is by translating the untranslatable. A drag queen fighting in World War II must literally lip sync for her life.

A show about remembering (and forgetting) everyday LGBTQ+ changemakers.

VENUES INCLUDE: VAULT Festival and Loco Klub Bristol
