The Burnley Buggers’ Ball & Burnley’s Lesbian Liberator
Sat 25 February, 12.00pm – 1.15pm & 2.00pm – 3.15pm, Burnley Central Library
In the 1970s, Burnley was the UK’s battleground for gay and lesbian rights. Who knew?! To mark the 50th anniversary of the Sexual Offences Act (1967), LGBT History Month has commissioned two brilliant new dramas from Inkbrew Production to rediscover this amazing forgotten history. The Burnley Buggers’ Ball, by Stephen M Hornby, tells the story of a transformative political meeting held at Burnley Central Library. Burnley’s Lesbian Liberator,by Abi Hynes, dramatises the political activism of a bus driver sacked for nothing more than wearing a badge. Both plays are vividly staged in the sites where the original events happened.
Suitable for adults and young people aged 12 and over
No booking required. Each performance is open to members of the public for free on a first come, first served basis until venue capacity is reached
Please note these performances are at Burnley Central Library, Lancashire, BB11 2BD

A Kidnapping – William J Holstead
Following January at Home:McR, you can next find Will at Hope Mill Theatre in Swaggering Crow’s production of ‘A Kidnapping’ 6th-11th February 2017.
One Van. Two plonkers.
What occurs to you when your bungled Kidnapping goes awry? Aaron and Rob are running out time, with their unfortunate hostage and their nefarious overseer.
In Swaggering Crow’s twisted farce, we discover our anti-heroes aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, as ulterior motives begin to surface and the cracks in the veneer reveal the absurd reality unfolding all around us.
