Aberration celebrates LGBTQ+ History Month with ‘Double Lives’ – an enthralling evening of talks and performances. All welcome.
Groundbreaking performer Tom Marshman presents painful, beautiful and hilarious anecdotes from his new theatre piece about Section 28 (the infamous 1988 law that banned schools and councils from ‘promoting homosexuality’). Historian Norena Shopland and Aberration’s own Jane Hoy bring to life Katherine Philips, the 17C woman-loving poet known as the Welsh Sappho (now poster girl for Double Lives!). Archaeologist Alessandro Ceccarelli shows how objects in Welsh collections can cast light on LGBTQ+ desire, love and identities. And author Alis Hawkins talks about her gripping new crime novel A Bitter Remedy with our host Helen Sandler. Plus bookstall from Gayberystwyth Books, and raffle for AllOut.
