Section 28 and Me

Presented by Front Room

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

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 was in place during 1988 – 2003, it was the legislation that stopped schools mentioning queer life.
