A landmark anthology of eight plays spanning 50 years of Scottish queer theatre.
This powerful anthology showcases the richness, range and resilience of Scottish LGBTQ+ drama through eight plays by writers whose work has helped shape, question and expand the contemporary stage. Across generations, styles and theatrical forms, these plays explore identity, desire, family, faith, friendship, politics, memory and belonging with wit, urgency and emotional force.
From intimate confession to bold theatrical reinvention, from sharp comedy to queer resistance, Queer Plays Volume One offers an essential introduction to the breadth of queer playwriting in Scotland. The collection is both a celebration of LGBTQ+ lives on stage and a valuable resource for readers, teachers, students, libraries, theatre-makers and anyone interested in contemporary Scottish drama.
This anthology is ideal for those seeking queer plays, Scottish drama, LGBTQ+ theatre texts, and contemporary playwriting that speaks across decades with honesty, imagination and theatrical flair.
