About this show

Queers sees eight writers respond to the 50th anniversary of The Sexual Offences Act which partially decriminalized homosexual acts between men in the UK. Performed by Alan Cumming, Ben Whishaw, and Rebecca Front among other award winning actors, these eight monologues explore some of the most poignant, funny, tragic and riotous moments of British gay history.
