Fancy something lesbian AND thespian? The Player's Collective
would like to invite you to their production,

The Tide' by Jack Shepherd.

Saturday 3 Sept - London
This year's annual festival of deaf and disabled artists,
Liberty, is curated by the irrepressible Julie MacNamara (Pig
Tails, The Knitting Circle) who's invited the hilarious BBC radio

and disabled artistes. For the first time this festival is hosted
at London's Southbank Centre as part of the celebrations for the
60th anniversary of the Festival of Britain and the National
