Queer Playback Theatre

Playback Theatre is spontaneous improvised theatre - the audience tells their stories and the actors re-enact them. It's unexpected, exciting, moving, often hilarious. Arnet Donkin, Jane Hoy and Lorna Henry founded QPT to build a space in which LGBT people could share their stories in a safe environment, knowing the actors share similar experiences. Email Jane at queerplayback@gmail.com to find out about our playback training workshops and how our shows can enliven your LGBT event.

Queer Playback is delighted to be performing again at LFest - it's an exciting lesbian arts and music camping weekend next to the riverside in beautiful Shrewsbury, UK. We are also running a playback drama workshop so you can practice some of the methods and skills used in playback theatre as well as getting another chance to share your stories.

Queer Playback Performers will include: Jane Hoy (Wales), Mar Gonga (Spain), Mich Jamieson (Hertfordshire) and Alice Faber (Holland).

LFest takes place from Friday 13 to Monday 16 July 2012. There's an amazing line up of artists and performers including Sarah Waters of Tipping the Velvet fame and loads of things to do and see including riverboat trips, a masked ball and an Edwardian music hall cabaret.
