DV8 Physical Theatre:
To Be Straight With You
A work conceived and directed by Lloyd Newson

DV8's Artistic Director Lloyd Newson directs a multi-ethnic cast in a poetic but unflinching exploration of tolerance, intolerance, religion and sexuality.

DV8’s new show is based on hundreds of hours of audio interviews collected throughout the UK with people directly affected by these issues. In a production incorporating dance, text, documentary, animation and film, twenty years on DV8 still refuses to be defined.

‘The persecution of people because of their sexual orientation is every bit as unjust as that crime against humanity, apartheid. We must all be allowed to love with honour.’ ARCHBISHOP DESMOND TUTU
