Born from the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt, Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens gives life and, more importantly, voice to those lost and left behind in the wake of the AIDS epidemic.

This brand new production fuses Bill Russell’s original free verse poetry and Janet Hood's musical score with new choreography by Jesse Matthews, striking right to heart of what it means to survive and be remembered.

An ensemble of actors and musicians will bring this collection of songs and monologues to life, sharing this pivotal work with a new generation of queer folk - helping us all connect to our history.
