North-East England, 1983. As a snowstorm rages outside, trainee singer Russell and his mother await the arrival of a young priest who believes Russell is possessed.
With a soundtrack of North-East folk music and 80s New Wave, Radiant Boy is a play with music about faith, shame and queerness.

Look at these stunners! An unbelievably gorgeous room to be in
We’re loving these shots of Radiant Boy: A Haunting in rehearsals!
1983. Russell returns home, believing he’s the victim of possession. This play tackles faith, queerness, and connection, with a soundtrack of North-East folk music, and 80s New Wave.

Not only this — and this is a big deal — but how on earth will the police ensure that male officers won’t be allowed to search cis women who look a bit butch and can’t prove they’re women?
if I understand correctly, the campaigners wanted (in their words) to stop trans women officers with a gender recognition certificate searching women.
and, in response, the police have decided to allow male officers to search trans women.

This is where your Harry Potter money goes
jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl.
yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’.
no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.
