Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
Its the early 1960s. Charlie and Harry are hairdressers in Brixton and have been together for 20 years. Quick humour and dreams keep them afloat but same-sex relationships are illegal and Charlie has been arrested in a pub while sitting on a mans knee. Simmering underneath the banter and hilarious mockery, Charlie anxiously awaits a court summons and Harry has his own troubles his hair is rapidly falling out, a disaster for a hairdresser. Running through this laugh-out loud comedy is the sadness of those unable to live openly because the law and the public condemn them to an undercover life. Change may be in the air but, for these two, it might as well be a hundred years away. Staircase is a clarion call for a more accepting and generous society; for a world where people can be who they are in their hearts; where love is love and that love is championed in all its forms. We will also be live streaming both performances on July 3rd. Click the Livestream tab to book a virtual ticket. Staircase is supported by the Boris Karloff Charitable Foundation and the John S. Cohen Foundation.
