Last night, I was transported back in time to the buzz, thrills, and raw activism of 1980’s New York as I attend the press night performance of “The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me”, written by David Drake, directed by Steven Dexter, currently playing at the New Wimbledon Theatre Studio.
As a gay, gender-questioning identifying individual, I have a rich passion for any LGBTQIA+ related theatre, topics and issues, literature, history, or art, therefore after exploring the context of this play, I was both intrigued and eager to delve back into the queer history books.
Furthermore, what felt even more special was the fact that this piece is debuting and running during LGBT+ History Month here in the UK, therefore acting as a beautiful, yet haunting reminder of our past, and how many positive steps forward we have taken since.
