Section 28 and Me is a playful, honest and heartfelt portrait, exploring queer stories on past invisibility and shame.

Section 28 was in place between 1988 and 2003, and was the legislation that banned local authorities and schools from ‘promoting homosexuality’.  Teachers weren’t allowed to teach or talk about same-sex relationships; anyone who broke the law could face disciplinary action.

In this new show theatre maker Tom Marshman asks: has the impact of growing up within Section 28 legislation made him both a show off and an over-sharer? Digging deep into his psyche, drawing on personal reflections, past performances, and his dad’s unique perspective, he considers this period of forced silence.

Tom asked many queer communities: what is your Section 28 story? Gathering intergenerational voices, connecting history and politics with the deeply personal, to celebrate the resilient and unique LGBTQIA+ community.

'Section 28 and Me is epic and intimate; national and individual; personal and political; and singularly focused with a view that embraces the community and audience with nurturing and careful warmth. Oh, and it’s a bit cheeky.' - The PRSD
