Overview

Abseiling lesbians! Queers in classrooms! Perverts panicking parents!

Thatcher's Section 28, which banned the promotion of homosexuality in schools, was the landmark legislation that silenced a generation, offered a global blueprint for LGBTQ+ oppression, and galvanised a movement.

Billy Barrett and Ellice Stevens's After the Act is a funny, camp and unapologetically queer musical about how a moral panic gripped a nation--and a community decided to fight back. Its inspiring and often heartbreaking stories of teachers, students, and activists impacted by the legislation are accompanied by a joyously exuberant score written by Frew and inspired by the music of the 1980s.
