Salford Pride are debuting their brand new performance, Love and Pride, at the University of Salford next month, as part of a project with the Greater Manchester Hate Crime Awareness Fund. The play also marks the celebration of LGBT+ History month, in February, the theme of which is poetry, prose and plays.
Performed by the university’s students, Love and Pride will feature three stories surrounding hidden Biphobia, Transphobia and Homophobia through the eye of LGBTQ+ people.
It was written by Thomas McCulloch and is based on a film by Edd Sebastian Norton, two students from the university. Thomas said:
“The evening will also showcase artwork that celebrates queer culture, created by the University’s up and coming artists.”
The Greater Manchester Hate Crime Awareness Fund was set up to raise awareness of what hate crime is and to Increase the reporting of hate crime incidents across the region.
Tickets for the performance at the New Adelphi Theatre on the Thursday 6th February 2020 cost £5, and can be bought from www.fatsoma.com/salfordpride.
