Outings & The Act

THE ACTSex and politics collide in The Act, a ground-breaking cabaret-style play comprised of personal anecdotes, verbatim House of Commons speeches and song. 1967. In Westminster the men in suits are putting the finishing touches to the freedoms we take for granted. In Soho, the men in bars are putting the finishing touches to their hairdos. Caught between these worlds is Matthews, a civil servant with a big heart and a big secret. OUTINGS The world’s first show based on coming-out stories. A powerful, funny and confessional collation of over twenty true stories. Few comings-out attract millions of YouTube views like Tom Daley’s did. But for whoever’s saying ‘I’m gay’ it’s a life-changing moment. Inspired by recent high-profile ‘comings out’ Outings is based on stories from gay men and women across the world.
