Writing Queer Performanceaf Le Gateau Chocolat
Bag om Writing Queer Performance

The first of its kind, this anthology documents some of the UK's most exciting contemporary queer performances, through a mix of retrospective scripts, development material, and artist interviews. Often, queer performances are intended to live one bright life: they rarely begin as a script at all, favoring instead performance-led forms, equipped to fill noisy bars, clinking cabaret venues, and fringe theatres, typically for very short runs. Because of this lack of written material, these important and vital performances are at-risk, vulnerable to be lost to the archives of memory. Writing Queer Performance: Contemporary Texts and Documents documents eight seminal queer live works, ensuring their accessibility. Featuring performance scripts, visual developmental material, and interviews with the creatives behind them, this anthology provides a panoramic insight on contemporary processes and practices. Along with a contextualizing introduction, this play collection illuminates this vibrant but vulnerable form, supporting its documentation and accessibility long after the event of live performance.
