Description:
Part of the 15 years of Marlborough Exhibition at Brighton Jubilee Library February 2025. The exhibition text reads:
15 Years of Marlborough Productions: A Journey of Queer Creativity and Community
Since 2008, Marlborough Productions has been at the heart of Brighton’s art scene, championing intersectional LGBTQIA+ culture and fostering a vibrant community of artists and audiences. From our beginnings at The Marlborough Pub & Theatre to our current role as a national and internationally recognised company, this exhibition celebrates our history. It features just a small selection
of the extraordinary people, performances and places that have contributed to our story – we only had ten panels to fill and we needed about a hundred!
