Raise Your Voice: Queer 2024

Run Date: 17/08/24 - 23/08/24.

Venue: Online

Description:

In the anticipation of Manchester Pride 2024 we launched a new online series called ‘Raise Your Voice’ where this time around, we have asked actors to record queer focused monologues.

‘Raise Your Voice’ is an online series where we ask writers for monologues that are then recorded and performed by actors. Each ‘burst’ of ‘Raise Your Voice’ focuses on a different theme.

Monologue Mondays

Monologue Mondays was used as the launch project of our Theatre Company to the world. Launching in 2020 meant that we could not gain access to a theatre space due to the industry being temporary shutdown because of Covid-19 pandemic. This did not stop us. Instead of seeing this as a negative we viewed it as an opportunity to showcase our work to a larger online audience, completely free. In total we created nine monologues which were a mixture of newly written work by our resident writers and classical texts that we staged in a contemporary way.
