A photo of Beth (a white person with dark hair in a high ponytail, wearing pink dungarees and a lilac tie-dyed t-shirt). Beth is against a pink backdrop, opening a blue diary with a scandalised expression - one eyebrow raised, mouth open in shocked amusement. Surrounding Beth’s head are doodles of yellow hearts, red stars & cut-out photos including: a Brighton bus, a bottle of cheap vodka, red Doc Marten boots, young Lindsay Lohan & Ashton Kutcher in heart-shaped frames, the back of pop duo Tatu holding hands in the rain in school uniform.

BEHIND-THE-SCENES

Want to know a little more about our brand new production The Law Of Mayhem?
Across this week we'll be sharing some clips we filmed with the creative team working on the project, to give audiences an insight into the fascinating world of Michael and Roberta, and... why now is the perfect time to shed a light on their story.

In this short video, we speak to writer Tabby Lamb about her research process and the journey she went on discovering this vital piece of trans history, in which #Basingstoke played an important part.

The show premieres at The Haymarket (18-20 Sept) in just over a week's time and we hope you will join us!

We sat down with our fave @tabbytslur a she shares a little insight into the process of writing our new play The Law of Mayhem. An almost 3 year project, which included extensive research which included being able to read some of the letters that Michael sent to Roberta, she was able to get a deeper sense of these two trans trailblazers lives.
