Gwenda's Garage Special - Georgina Coram and Lucy Mackay
You're listening to Represent, the queer musical theatre podcast.
My name is Dr. James Lovelock and I'm an academic and a huge musical theatre fan exploring the representation of all things queer in the musical theatre industry.
In this episode we are joined by Georgina Coram and Lucy Mackay from the cast of the Sheffield-based musical Gwenda's Garage.
The musical is based on the stories of queer women who were involved in the real Gwenda's Garage in the 1980s and follows the characters through the political upheaval of Margaret Thatcher's Britain, including the enacting of Section 28 and the fight for the rights of queer people to adopt children.
As always you can follow us on your favourite podcast platform and don't forget to share this episode on social media.
