Lemon Lounge is a new six-part series of curated talks presented by Lemon House Theatre’s Co-Artistic Directors Jennifer Cerys and Samia Djilli.
Whilst doors are closed, Jennifer and Samia are taking a more indepth look at the UK theatre industry, on stage and off. In these conversations, they’ll be chatting to Queer artists and artists from the MENA diaspora about their experiences, and the ways in which the theatre industry needs to change so that, when doors re-open, there’s still a space for our stories.
The first part of the series will cover topics such as the future of queer theatre and why queer characters are often experiencing trauma.
The second part of the series will explore areas including the visibility of MENA artists on stages in the UK.
These talks are taking place as part of St. Margaret’s House’s REACH Online project to support the development of Lemon House Theatre’s plays Willow and an upcoming Untitled project. Alongside these talks, you’ll hear extracts from these works-in-progress, which are responding to the kind of questions raised by the artists in each episode.
