THE PRIDE
Set in two times, the UK in the 1950s and the 2000s, The Pride charts the struggles and seismic changes in attitudes to sexuality that have taken place over 50 years in Britain. The Guardian says “Campbell's play is a work of art that juxtaposes scenes from the repressive 1950s with others from the more liberated, but still imperfect, present”. The past’s tortuous emotional triangle: ‘Philip’, an estate agent married to ‘Sylvia’ but is attracted to ‘Oliver’. In the present, the names are the same, but the characters are different.
Times change, attitudes change but do people really change?
Contains depiction of sexual assault and derogatory language.
Run Time: 2 hours with a 15 minute interval.
