Sanctuary
Daniel Hinchliffe presents Jacob Sparrow's Debut Play
Pleasance Dome
5–31 Aug (not 17)
Sanctuary, the debut play from Jacob Sparrow, is the winner of the inaugural Leodis Prize, a new playwriting competition. This beautiful, evocative play is about the AIDS epidemic in the 90s and is set in Suffolk. It is about loneliness and the legacy of shame, but also the contours of hope and the right to live. It is about the lack of blueprint queer people get for themselves and the mistakes they make in having to forge their own heritage. Sanctuary is about safety and where we allow ourselves to feel safe.
