Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Lesbian suffragettes smash down the fourth wall of Loco Klub in a period drama like no other. Drawing on questionable historical data, Powerpoint presentations and guitar solos to weave a forgotten queer love story that’d make the BBC blush."

A event held at Loco Klub on Wednesday 15th March. The event starts at 19:30.

Annie and Christabel are dating. Historians dispute this on the grounds of ‘inaccuracies’ and ‘lack of scholastic rigour’ and ‘the over-interpretation of the fact that women shared bedrooms’.

Ladyfriends is a high-octane romp through love letters, third dates, and lesbian period dramas – via the (probably) true stories of Annie Kenney and Christabel Pankhurst. Rammed with live music and film, it digs up real-life queer history to ask the age-old question: “are we dating, or are we just really good friends?”

Expect confetti, PowerPoints, and power ballads.

Start time: 7.30pm
Run time: 110 minutes
Suitable for ages 14+
Content Warning: Themes of homophobia. Flashing lights, loud noise, visual effects (e.g. streamers, glitter curtains, confetti cannons).
