Friday 30th Bullish - "A new mythical play with songs, negotiating ancient and new territories in trans-masculine gender and identity. This show drops a proverbial bull into a china shop and hopes it breaks everything."
By Camden People's Theatre - Poole Lighthouse part of the Come As You Are Festival. 8pm. (also on Sat 1st) Info - https://www.lighthousepoole.co.uk/whats-on/2018/bullish/
Friday 30th Non Binary Electro hour by Camden People's Theatre - Poole Lighthouse part of the Come As You Are Festival. 9.30pm.
“What are you if you’re not a man or a woman, when the world forces you to be one or the other?
And what does drag even mean if you’re not a king or a queen? Also…how can I make this into a musical?”
Non-Binary Electro Hour brings together noise about queer life, and desire for queer/trans bodies, with a brief punk history of drag outside the boxes – from queer stars of stage and screen to the gender-bending icons of today. Expect songs, sci fi, strip-tease, and spoken word. This modern-day revue is a messed up take on what it’s like to be in-between categories.

Saturday 1st Come As You Are - Panel Discussion 3pm Lighthouse Poole. "As part of the Come As You Are Festival, Lighthouse and Camden People’s Theatre will be partnering with local trans and LGBTQIA+ organisations to curate a panel discussion exploring experiences and issues that are pertinent to the local trans, non-binary and gender queer community in Dorset." Info https://www.lighthousepoole.co.uk/whats-on/2018/panel-discussion/
Saturday 1st I'm Bitter About Glitter & Deuce Double Bill 5.30pm Lighthouse Poole. Part of Come As You Are Festival
I'm Bitter About Glitter - This family-friendly performance collides extravagant fantasy and the reality of mother and child making a piece of work together. I’m Bitter About Glitter is a gentle exploration of identity and how this is presented in terms of gender and choice; also the roles we play throughout our lives. The piece originally commissioned by Tom Marshman (Deuce), and intended for children and adults to enjoy together – welcomes adult audiences as part of the Come As You Are Festival.
Deuce - This work explores the 30th anniversary of the introduction of Section 28, the infamous legislation that banned local authorities from ‘promoting’ homosexuality and had a profoundly damaging effect on the ability to be visible as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer (LGBTQ) person without fear of, or actual, reprisal. Growing up in the grip of clause 28 Tom and Rachael took their role models where they could find them, from Martina Navratilova, The Fall Guy, Princess Leigh to Cindy and KD Lang. Deuce explores female masculinities and male femininities using pop cultural references to unpick historical representations of gender non-conformity and reinsert/instate them (and their relevance) into contemporary ‘queer’ discourse.

Friday 30th Bullish - "A new mythical play with songs, negotiating ancient and new territories in trans-masculine gender and identity. This show drops a proverbial bull into a china shop and hopes it breaks everything."
By Camden People's Theatre - Poole Lighthouse part of the Come As You Are Festival. 8pm. (also on Sat 1st) Info - https://www.lighthousepoole.co.uk/whats-on/2018/bullish/
Friday 30th Non Binary Electro hour by Camden People's Theatre - Poole Lighthouse part of the Come As You Are Festival. 9.30pm.
“What are you if you’re not a man or a woman, when the world forces you to be one or the other?
And what does drag even mean if you’re not a king or a queen? Also…how can I make this into a musical?”
Non-Binary Electro Hour brings together noise about queer life, and desire for queer/trans bodies, with a brief punk history of drag outside the boxes – from queer stars of stage and screen to the gender-bending icons of today. Expect songs, sci fi, strip-tease, and spoken word. This modern-day revue is a messed up take on what it’s like to be in-between categories.

Saturday 1st I'm Bitter About Glitter & Deuce Double Bill 5.30pm Lighthouse Poole. Part of Come As You Are Festival
I'm Bitter About Glitter - This family-friendly performance collides extravagant fantasy and the reality of mother and child making a piece of work together. I’m Bitter About Glitter is a gentle exploration of identity and how this is presented in terms of gender and choice; also the roles we play throughout our lives. The piece originally commissioned by Tom Marshman (Deuce), and intended for children and adults to enjoy together – welcomes adult audiences as part of the Come As You Are Festival.
Deuce - This work explores the 30th anniversary of the introduction of Section 28, the infamous legislation that banned local authorities from ‘promoting’ homosexuality and had a profoundly damaging effect on the ability to be visible as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer (LGBTQ) person without fear of, or actual, reprisal. Growing up in the grip of clause 28 Tom and Rachael took their role models where they could find them, from Martina Navratilova, The Fall Guy, Princess Leigh to Cindy and KD Lang. Deuce explores female masculinities and male femininities using pop cultural references to unpick historical representations of gender non-conformity and reinsert/instate them (and their relevance) into contemporary ‘queer’ discourse.

Gay Table Roast Dinner and Coffee mornings - Although slightly outside our area, these two excellent social events run by Paul in Stoford (just south of Yeovil off the A37) are ideal for guys in North Dorset who may feel socially isolated.
Gay Table Roast Dinners Every month on the Sunday that follows the last Friday. Aimed at guys who are a bit lonely or who don’t eat properly. Paul writes - “We ask for a £5 donation towards the cost of food for the Roast Dinner. This is always a full Roast with homemade soup to start, roast dinner with plenty of vegetables followed by a pudding all washed down with fruit juice. There is tea and coffee with cake later in the afternoon. The dinner is served at 1pm guests are welcome to arrive anytime after 11am and can stay as long as they want.”
Coffee mornings Second Saturday in the month from 11am – 3pm Stoford near Yeovil.
Venue for both regular events is Paul’s private home in Stoford. You can contact him, for full details, via this email geraniumtrust@gmail.com More info on our news page - https://weymouthgaygroup.weebly.com/lgbt-news-weymouth--dorset.html
