New Queers On The Block

The Marlborough Theatre are bringing together some artists much loved by us for the first time in a celebration of all things queer!

New Queers on the Block is a fresh night of exciting performance showcasing some of the finest international queer work from Rachael Young, Hester Chillingworth, Stacy Makishi & Malik Nashad Sharpe, hosted by Ophelia Bitz.

Expect shows about being a queer black woman channelling the power of Grace Jones, memories of a queer childhood, reclaiming your faith with the help of pop music and black melancholy through the legacy of Tupac.

Heres what people are saying about our line-up:

Rachael Young - "An uncompromising original tornado The Stage

Stacy Makishi - "Brilliant" The Guardian

Malik Nashad Sharpe - "a raw portrait of black, queer identity and politics" Exeunt Magazine

Hester Chillingworth - "hilarious, witty and entertaining", A Younger Theatre

Plus an ace local guest performer will join the line-up - keep an eye on social media for announcements.

New Queers on the Block is a scheme supporting the development of LGBTQ+ artists & audiences across the UK developed by The Marlborough Theatre.

Supported using public funding by Arts Council England and with support from Jerwood Charitable Foundation.
