44 Stories

Synopsis:
Seventy countries are competing in the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Forty-four of these countries declare homosexuality as illegal. . .in some places punishable by death. We want you to know more about these places and the people that were born there. Presented by Mr Livingston Knows - the newest Drag King on the block - and a cast of misfits, vogue walkers and tranny-chasing contorted malcontents, we present a kaleidoscopic journey around the globe. Drawing from 90s New York ballroom culture, queer hip-hop dance styles, poetry slams and cabaret - 44 Stories is a celebration of life lost and dreams of a brighter future for life now.

For Edinburgh

Synopsis:
-

Notes:
One city, 50 writers, 50 plays, 25,000 words. In celebration of our 50th anniversary, we invited fifty emergent playwrights to work with us over the course of our birthday year. the worldwide search for the Traverse Fifty started last September with a challenge to write a 500-word Play for Edinburgh. Of the 630 applications, we selected the most urgent voices to form our Traverse Fifty. In January, these 50 plays were premiered all together, in one epic performance. This August, in the midst of our Festival Fever, we are re-staging these extraordinary plays, over two thrilling nights. This is your chance to see the future.
