Alternating between 1958 and 2008, this one-off, script in hand performance of The Pride examines changing attitudes to sexuality, looking at intimacy, identity and the courage it takes to be who you are.
In 2008 The Pride premiered at the Royal Court Theatre to critical acclaim, winning the Laurence Olivier Award under the direction of Jamie Lloyd.
The play was revived in London at Trafalgar Studios in 2013.
This play contains strong language, scenes of a sexual nature, and descriptions of sexual assault that some may find distressing.
