509 Arts: Plague of Innocence Rehearsed Reading

Sat 5 Mar | 5 & 7pm | Pay What You Decide

Plague of Innocence by Noel Greig. Directed by Al Dix, 509 Arts. Produced by Richard Dunbar.

This award winning play was first performed in 1988 at the height of the AIDS and HIV epidemic. It immediately became a parable for the politics and attitudes of Thatcher’s Britain.

Stigma associated with HIV still exists in the UK. Today we have a new virus with a new name. Noel’s play is a timely reminder that we should never forget and must continue to challenge inequalities wherever we find them.

Part of LGBTQ+ History Month.

Includes a panel discussion after the reading.

All profits will be donated to Yorkshire Mesmac.

Sat 5 Mar | 5 & 7pm | Pay What You Decide

–

All our events are Pay What You Decide, which means you don’t have to pay until after you have seen the event. We want to encourage more people to come and see events at Kala Sangam, more often.

Pay What You Decide not only allows you to pay what you can afford, rather than a fixed ticket price, but also removes the financial risk of buying a ticket for an event in advance without knowing whether you are going to enjoy it or not.

Tickets are available to book in advance as usual, but there is no obligation for you to pay until after you have seen the event. You can then decide on a price which you think is suitable based on your experience, which means if you haven’t enjoyed it at all, you don’t have to pay anything.

Please ensure you have arrived and collected your tickets 15 minutes before the event starts in order to secure your seats. At the end of the show, you can decide what to pay, either by cash or card on the door.

If you have ANY coronavirus symptoms, please DO NOT attend.

Temperature checks, hand sanitisation and mask wearing will be encouraged where appropriate.
