Today we're taking you back to @YVTakingPart's beautiful production of #CarnationForASong, written & directed by @_MeganCronin with music & lyrics by @Joseph_Atkins.
This moving musical was created as a community response to our production of #FunHome & explores stories of LGBQ Londoners, all aged 50, featuring original songs & text directly inspired by their experiences.
Leaving Home And Art Of The Flirt (extract) - This section describes an experience of many; the uncertainty of coming out and turning one's back on a rural upbringing for the captivating cry of the city. And the fun that can come from city life!
We will be sharing more extracts from #CarnationforaSong over the next few days. In the meantime, you can find out more about the project in this blog piece: youngvic.org/blog/carnation…
