Overview

'So much more than just a gay issue... like all human rights, when you see yourself as human first, it involves all of us.'

In 1981, the medical journal The Lancet reported the first case of AIDS in the UK. By the end of the decade, hundreds were dead: mostly young, mostly gay, mostly men.

Across the country, women were there. Mothers, sisters, daughters, friends, lovers, professionals. They cared, cleaned, cooked, coped, cried and campaigned. They lost people they loved. And they went to endless funerals.

Dancing in Heaven celebrates the voices of these women - the loud ones and the unheard ones. Together, they represent strength, grief, anger, and an awful lot of love.

While the monologues are fiction, the stories are real, drawn from conversations, press coverage, articles and the archives of Switchboard, the national LGBTQIA+ support line.
