Queer Tales: Works in Progress

Join us for a scratch night of brand new material and works-in-progress with some of Scotland’s standout spoken word poets!

RJ Hunter’s and Gray Crosbie’s long-form shows in progress promise to be heartbreaking and hilarious by turns. Gray’s Plant Slut follows a newly single trans man who starts to take pleasure into his own hands by stealing houseplant cuttings from otherwise unsatisfactory hook-ups. RJ’s Meat Loaf Shot My Dad, meanwhile, explores grief and our power to maintain memories of those we have lost in the way that we want to remember them.

The night will finish up with a performance by Harry Josephine Giles with the Edinburgh Trans Choir, responding to a score from Harry Josephine Giles’ most recent collection Them!
