Pits & Perverts

Pits and Perverts by Micheál Kerrigan

Produced, directed and script development by Patricia Byrne

This critically acclaimed new play follows the story of Sean who leaves Northern Ireland at the height of the Troubles. After coming out as a gay man in 1980s London he becomes involved with the Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners group. Two miners from South Wales come to stay with Sean and his partner not realising they are a gay couple. The events that unfold impacts on all their lives. This play toured Northern Ireland last year receiving standing ovations at every performance! It is based on real events in Thatcher's Britain. It highlights the power of community.

“A sensitive and gritty dialogue” **** Belfast Telegraph
