Absolutely delighted to meet @d.shenton today IRL in Norfolk @queernorfolk (must admit to tipping into fangirl mode).
Also lovely to have a root around the archive at the impressive @millenniumlibrary & see some old familiar faces…
Will be posting more archive snaps over the next few days.

Children of the Night @swkplay
Whilst not the main focus of the play, it is refreshing to hear a young working class woman’s experience of the UK’s first heterosexual HIV cluster in the 90s north.
A production full of life and truth, performed by an energetic small cast with clever stage design that makes the most of a minimal set. Recommended.
