The Lesbians of Forest Gate is a new play derived from interviews with lesbian, queer, bisexual, asexual, transgender, and non-binary people living in Forest Gate over the past six decades.

It’s 1995, the afterparty is raging, and Amanda has put her situationship Kelly on trial for kissing a man. Now, the Lesbian Council of Forest Gate must hold an emergency meeting to decide what it really means to be a lesbian. Julie and Maureen are bringing the drinks, Dom’s stepping up as Kelly’s defence solicitor, Rowan is doing their best to manage a bunch of horny, high-strung dykes, and it’s just Margarida’s first day. Stay ‘til the end, because Heather has a big surprise planned for later…

This project was funded by the Newham Council and was later showcased at The Source as a part of Newham Heritage Month. Read more here.
