SUMMARY:Toxic
DESCRIPTION:Toxic is the story of two queer people who\, in their own words\, ‘meet\, fall in love and f*ck it up.’ \nWritten in Nathaniel’s unmistakeable heartbreaking and hilarious style\, the play is a rollercoaster ride through their tumultuous and passionate relationship as they struggle to tame the ghosts of their pasts. \nHe is HIV+ and drowning in shame. They are queer and one microaggression from a full-on breakdown. \nWhen their lives collide\, the pair form a bond so tight they might just survive it all. But the collective trauma of their troubled pasts weighs heavy\, and soon they find themselves taking the pain out on one another: sexually\, emotionally\, psychologically\, even physically. \nWith a vow to stay together no matter what (heteros taught us in sickness and in health\, right?) the relationship spirals but the pair still cling to the belief that the bond they’ve formed will help them survive it all. But sometimes survival means knowing when to leave. \nPulling back the glittery curtain of the modern pride movement\, Toxic reveals a place where many still suffer the devastating impact of generational HIV stigma\, racism\, homophobia and toxic gender norms. \nInspired by true events in Nathaniel’s life and from stories gathered through creative outreach\, this powerful and passionate play celebrates survival and the resilience of the queer spirit. \nNathaniel will be coming to The Hat Factory on Sat 15 Feb as part of LGBTIQ+ History Month to host an ‘In conversation with’ evening where they will be discussing the importance of the work\, why it was made and speaking a little more about their life story with specific reference to social change and activism. \nBook ‘In Conversation With Nathaniel Hall’ and ‘Toxic’ for a discounted rate of £15 for both events instead of £18. \n  \nEmotional warnings: scenes of recreational drug use\, scenes of a sexual nature\, strong language\, use of homophobic and stigmatising language\, references to sexual abuse\, frank discussion of racism\, scenes of emotional and physical abuse.\nHealth warnings: Includes flashing lights and amplified sound.

SUMMARY:Before Stonewall
DESCRIPTION:On June 27\, 1969\, police raided The Stonewall Inn\, a gay bar in New York. In a spontaneous show of support and frustration\, the city’s gay community rioted for three nights in the streets\, an event that is considered the birth of the modern Gay Rights Movement. \nThis multiple Emmy award winning documentary pries open the closet door\, setting free the dramatic stories of gay communities of eras past. Revealing and often humorous\, the award winning Before Stonewall exposes the fascinating and unforgettable decade-by-decade history of homosexuality in America\, from 1920’s Harlem through to World War II and the witch hunt trials of the McCarthy era\, before winding up at the Stonewall Inn one summer night. Before Stonewall is essential viewing for all those who have celebrated their sexuality\, or have been persecuted because of it. \nDirected by Greta Schiller (Paris Was a Woman) with cinematography by Sandi Sissel (Tyler Perry’s Meet The Browns\, Wes Craven’s The People Under the Stairs)\, Before Stonewall is narrated by prolific lesbian writer Rita Mae Brown (Rubyfruit Jungle\, The Slumber Party Massacre) and features gay poet Allen Ginsberg\, lesbian author Ann Bannon\, and a cornucopia of gay activists and normal folk telling their stories.

SUMMARY:Zoe Lyons: Werewolf
DESCRIPTION:If life is a journey\, Zoe’s has had more than its share of potholes and diversions: from diving with sharks\, to sitting in a shed in Vietnam with a former health secretary (and discovering that MPs aren’t the only parasites she has to worry about). Navigating the road to happiness can be exhausting and baffling; Zoe’s begun to think that even Wim Hof would prefer to be tucked up with a nice hot water bottle every now and then. \nBut Zoe’s been on that road long enough now that she’s felt a change – not as in the menopause. A real change. If happiness is ending up the best version of yourself\, Zoe is finally getting there. She is where she needs to be. She is… werewolf. \nThe host of BBC’s ‘Lightning’\, a regular on ‘Have I Got News For You’\, ‘QI’\, and ‘Mock The Week’ – and a survivor of ‘Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins’ and ‘World’s Most Dangerous Roads’ on Dave – Zoe is one of the country’s best-loved comedians.
