Radclyffe Hall’s scandalous queer classic comes to life onstage.

You think growing up gay is hard? Try doing it in the early 20th century. The Well of Loneliness is a staging of Radcylffe Hall’s scandalous novel of the same name – a coming of age story about Stephen, a girl with a boy’s name, and their search for an alternative way of love. Hall’s incredible words and storytelling comes to life in this contemporary staged reading full of scandals, tragedies, passion and queer joy.
