From photographs of early Pride marches to Reggie Blennerhassett’s shots from inside the Lesbian and Gay Centre, it’s one not to be missed.
| | In need of a culture injection? You know a performance of one of the Bard’s most iconic plays at the Barbican is going to be good, so get booking because this one’s going to be busy. The Royal Shakespeare Company have teamed up with Intel to create a bold reimagining of Prospero’s tale, more suited to younger audiences.
