Based on interviews by the journalist Charlie Bird, Colin Murphy’s documentary drama charts the arc of the fight for legal gay marriage in Ireland culminating in the historic 2015 vote. Watch as ‘The Yes Equality Office’ navigate their campaign for marriage equality through the highs and lows of political referendum. Interwoven with personal stories of those affected, this play not only challenges the audience’s interpretation of modern history but examines the experience of LGBTQ+ youth.
“There's a million in the middle - and they might go either way.”
This production is suitable for ages 12 and over.
