What’s On @ The Lantern Calendar
by Sarah Jane Dickenson “If I hadn’t got out of my car that day, I would not, absolutely not be here strutting my rugby fit bear body, wearing f**k-right-off amazing dangly earrings on the streets of Hull.” Inspired by the true stories of International Gay Rugby players, SAFER is a hard hitting, tender and funny exploration of the toxic side of team sports and how one new team decided to tackle it head on. The play runs for 60 minutes and there is a 15 minute Q&A after each performance. 13+ Years. Content Warning: Swearing ProtaGonism Theatre & Different Theatre Chemistry, written by Sam Chittenden, is set in a future world in which people can’t touch. Instead of sexual intercourse, babies are conceived through IVF, overseen by robot operators known as Fosterers. In order to maintain human involvement in the reproductive process, prospective parents are required to meet so they can approve their genetic matching and to agree to the child being raised by the Fosterers and taught from the Rulings. In one such pairing meeting, the sophisticated Bea and first-timer Jay try to navigate the process and their responses to each other. I was kicked in the Testicle when I was 8 years old and didn’t tell anyone until I was 13, this is the story of what might have been had that fateful day not happpened. It takes balls to be who you are.
