When a community is written out of history books, they find their own way to share their stories. So Tommy (The Queer Historian) has invited us all around to Aunty Nell’s for tea and tales. It’s a very British tradition but with a very distinctive queer touch.
Dear Aunty Nell often said: “The only way to remember the dead is to tell those stories as your own, dear”. Her show is a love letter to gossip, and to memories.
My Dear Aunty Nell also asks: how can you grieve for someone who isn’t dead? This intimate environment will be a safe place to explore how we remember the people and stories that we hold dear. Made in collaboration with Opening Doors, a charity that provides support to members of the LGBTQ+ community over the age of 50.
Each show has a running time of 50 minutes and has a 30-minute Q&A after each performance where Tommy invites a guest from the LGBTQ+ community to join them for dinner to decompress and discuss the themes that are raised during the performance.
Wed 24 May - Sat 27 May, 7.15pm Camden People's Theatre 58-60 Hampstead Road London, UK
