Beautiful Thing

Unfolding in a secret location in Thamesmead, GDIF closes with this outdoor dance-theatre love story. It's based on Jonathan Harvey's 1993 play, which entranced Section 28-era audiences with a story of romance between two working-class teenage boys. This new version will take place in the places his story was set (and where the 1996 Channel 4 film was shot). In classic GDIF style, it'll have an amped up production featuring digital production, dance, and live music by a community choir.
