Set against the backdrop of Thatcher’s infamous Section 28, the show explores themes of pride, protest, and resilience within the community.

Featuring a joyous original score and a camp, unapologetically queer spirit, “After the Act” tells the inspiring stories of teachers, students, and activists who bravely fought back against oppression.
