Girls, guys, gays, rebels, creatives and the entire rainbow family 👋 🏳️‍🌈 Get yourselves down to the Phil this Thursday for a riotous evening with the legendary poet Joelle Taylor!! 🖋️🤩🔊

With a vividly sketched cast of characters, Taylor is set to give a winning staged reading of her brand-new collection, #Maryville - which dives into the lives of four butch lesbians across five decades of underground queer history - clubs, the culture, and the radical resistance that shaped their world.

Through this vehicle, Taylor explores the scars of oppression alongside the beauty and unstoppable spirit of the #LGBTQ+ community.

If you love a supportive, open, and raucous crowd, (and who doesn’t?) this is exactly where you need to be. 

You’ll laugh, you might cry, and you will definitely connect. ❤️

Whether you’re looking to network with local artists or just hang out with like-minded peers, this is a space to just be yourself.

Come for the storytelling - stay for the crowd!

ɪɴᴛʀᴏᴅᴜᴄɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇ  ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛɪᴠᴇ ᴛᴇᴀᴍ:

The performance is directed by acclaimed writer and director  Neil Bartlett (Orlando) with stunning visuals from artist Sweatmother, followed by a Q&A chaired by BBC Slam Champion Jess Green. 

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄʀɪᴛɪᴄꜱ ᴀʀᴇ ꜱᴀʏɪɴɢ:

"Taylor's poetry is as dangerous as it is dexterous . . . A wildfire blazing free" -Bernardine Evaristo⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
