Progress Theatre: 'The Pride'

'The Pride' by by Alexei Kay Campbell.

How do sex, love and relationships intertwine when external pressures conflict with your core feelings?

Alternating between 1958 & 2008, The Pride features three people living similar but radically different lives. It examines, with humour and some sympathy, the changing attitudes to gay men over a period of 50 years, looking at intimacy, identity, and the courage it takes to be who you really are.

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.

Tickets: £14 (concessions £11) which you can book online TicketSource (booking fee applies)
