Pride Month Spotlight: Celebrating Queer Theatre
Pride Month isn’t just about celebration—it’s about visibility, truth-telling, and holding space for voices that are still too often ignored. Queer theatre has always done that work. It’s where queer lives are shown in full complexity: messy, joyful, political, ordinary, and everything in between.
This June, we’re looking at a range of productions that don’t shy away from hard questions. These plays explore identity, survival, community, and the systems that shape (and often threaten) queer lives.
Unicorn by Mike Bartlett
A surreal, poetic exploration of transformation and gender identity.
See Primark & Die by Claire Dowie
A raw, working-class queer narrative laced with dark humor and heartbreak.
Rotterdam by Jon Brittain
A powerful story about transition, love, and the evolving language of identity.
Cruise by Jack Holden
A love letter to 1980s queer London, brimming with energy and loss.
The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven by Jo Clifford
Radical, spiritual, and unapologetically queer—a reimagined sacred figure.

An iconic cry for justice and visibility during the early AIDS crisis.
Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen by Marcelo Dos Santos
