This is our official Summer Field Trip! A small group of us will be visiting Riverside Studios to see Springbok Production House’s Our 1972. Join us for the show and a cosy catch-up in the lounge after.
“Remember our second class together, when we had to describe our political utopia? This is mine.”
Set at a seismic moment in queer British history, Our 1972 follows Andy and Benjamin - two university students who fall in love, fall into protest and help build the first ever Gay Pride march in London.
Carole King’s Tapestry hums through their dorm room. Cabaret is changing cinema. Stonewall’s tremors echo across the Atlantic. As Thatcherism stirs and the first shadows of the AIDS crisis emerge, two young men try to hold on to each other as history surges forward around them.
Described as "a beautiful boy-meets-boy story set against a world that doesn’t love them,” (Youngish Perspective)Our 1972 is a love letter to queer resistance - and to those who came before.
Performance starts promptly at 2pm. We suggest arriving early to meet any fellow cosy clubbers at reception before getting seated. We then plan on staying for a catch-up in the lounge after. There is a restaurant, cafe & bar on site for refreshments.
