Stonewall at the Southbank

It's 40 years this summer since the Stonewall Riots marked the symbolic birth of gay liberation.

Join a line-up of experts, performers and witnesses including Professor Jeffrey Weeks, Lindsay River, Rikki Beadle-Blair and Michael Twaits for an exploration of gay history's most significant anniversary.
