Description Against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, Australia is on the cusp of political change. The body of a murdered lecturer floats in the River Torrens, a young woman escapes a lobotomy to cure her sexuality, and a single mum struggles to find her place in a society that brands her as abnormal.

From emerging Australian voice, Elias Jamieson Brown (Green Park), comes CAMP, a brand-new play directed by Kate Gaul (The Trouble with Harry, The Moors, H.M.S Pinafore) and proudly presented by Siren Theatre Co and Seymour Centre in association with Sydney WorldPride.

Capturing the excitement and spirit of revolution present at the birth of Australia's fierce gay rights movement, CAMP charts the struggles, successes, and legacy of early Pride activists who risked family, careers, and imprisonment to achieve social reform in Australia.

Taking us from the earliest protests to the first Mardi Gras march and beyond and paying particular homage to the untold history of women inside the movement CAMP is a powerfully-told tale full of life and joy, inspired by remarkable true stories from those who were there.
