A Kind of People - 2019 - West End History , Info & More

Friday night and someone's having a party. It seems like a laugh, but not everyone’s having fun.



Gary and Nicky have been together since school. Gary's going for a promotion so he can get his family out of their council flat and give Nicky everything she deserves.



Anjum and Mo are used to aiming for the best. And doing whatever it takes to get it.



Gary's sister Karen is more interested in having a life than fighting for any cause.



Mark is just…always there.



And Victoria, Victoria wants to dance with somebody…



Set amidst a contemporary British community, Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti's new play, directed by Michael Buffong, asks how it's possible to get on when the odds are stacked against you.

'Infinite Refrain, Music of Love's Refuge' Celebrates Pride with 17th-Century Music About Gay Love
by Josh Sharpe - May 13, 2024


Infinite Refrain, Music of Love’s Refuge', a new album that is the first of its kind, features passionate duets and arias that explore the nuances of gay love in the 17th century in Venice. Though often concealed or suppressed, the connection, doubts, joy, misery, laughter, longing, and elation of same-sex admiration existed, nonetheless.  Conceived as the journey of two men in love, told through 17th-century music, this album draws back the curtain of religious absolutism that has obscured stories of gay romance for hundreds of years.
