Venues and festivals in Hastings, Blackpool, Folkestone and Bradford play host to tour dates, produced and programmed by The Marlborough Theatre in Brighton.

New Queers on the Block sees artists engaging with local audiences via a Local Ambassadors Programme especially designed to reach out to those who don’t attend theatre shows on a regular basis.
