Join us to dip your toes in an extract of Tabby Lamb's brand new play directed by Luke Skilbeck from Milk Presents. The play, which is currently in development, is inspired by TAGS – London Trans and Gender non-conforming Swimming group, recent news around Trans Rights and the lived experience of NYT performers who have been workshopping the play with the creative team.
Tabby Lamb is non-binary writer and performer based in East London and a graduate of Dartington College of Art. They are associate writer at Middle Child. Luke Skilbeck is a former NYT member and Artistic Director of Milk Presents, a company that celebrates what it means to be queer through theatre, film, club nights and more.
