Strangers in Between, review: Well-deserved transfer

Strangers in Between, review: Well-deserved transfer | LGBTQ+ Movies, Theatre, FIlm & Music | Scoop.it
This three-hander by the award-winning dramatist Australian playwright, Tommy Murphy, arrives in the West End, having had a successful run at the King's Head Theatre in Islington. Catching up with it now, I'm glad to vouch that Adam Spreadbury-Maher's beautifully cast production well deserves this transfer. The piece is set in Sydney's King's Cross area (roughly equivalent to Soho) where the sixteen year old Shane, in flight from his rural hometown of Goulburn and lying about his age, has fetched up and secured himself a job in a bottlo (off-license).

Hayley Kiyoko's Great Gay Pop Music Takeover

Hayley Kiyoko's Great Gay Pop Music Takeover | LGBTQ+ Movies, Theatre, FIlm & Music | Scoop.it
On the eve of releasing her debut album, the Disney actor turned quadruple-threat pop star is ready to take her unapologetically queer music to the mainstream.
Trinity Broadus's curator insight, June 15, 2018 10:42 AM
I'm excited to see that there is an artist as young as Hayley who isn't afraid of showing people who she is. She's young and beautiful and her story tells you about the journey she is going on and why she is doing it. I've used buzzfeed before and it's a very reliable source it gives you the main story without making it seem fake.
