Never Again

Synopsis

The DV8 Physical Theatre, founded and directed by Lloyd Newson, is one of Britain’s foremost dance companies. Their work is hard-hitting, precise, raw and theatrical. ‘Never Again’ is conceived and choreographed specifically for the screen. It explores the aftermath of the controversial Section 28 and its effects on the lives of gay people. The six characters discover that they are each under threat in hostile situations where differences in sexual orientation can make human contact difficult and often dangerous.
