The future of queer theatre with Daisy Hale and Salome Wagaine

“Because the arts is a generally liberal place, there’s still this
idea that we don’t mind that you’re queer… rather than being like,
‘What can we actually do to support and affirm you?’ ”

In this week’s episode, Jennifer Cerys, one of the Artistic
Directors of Lemon House Theatre, chats to independent theatre
& combined arts producer Daisy Hale, and writer and producer
Salome Wagaine about the future of queer theatre. They discuss
where the queer community can go while doors to theatre, comedy and
cabaret shows are closed, and the importance of investing in
smaller venues. Finally, they share what they hope queer theatre
will look like in 5, 10, 20 years time.
