The Queer Poetry Project

Part of Dublin LGBTQ+ Pride 2021


The Queer Poetry Project is our contribution to Dublin LGBTQ+ Pride Festival for 2021. Unable to meet in person or do a live show as usual, we met virtually to read and perform poems, facilitated by Jonathan Andrews who worked with us for the project. The result is ten short films made by Acting Out members inspired by some brilliant queer poems. We will be releasing one a day (and nearly all are less than two minutes) from 7th June.
