Glasgay! The Gates: Love, Liberation and Respect

The Gateways, a bohemian private members club – and hotbed of lesbian night life – opened in 1945 in the basement of a shop in the heart of Chelsea and thrived until 1985.

Glasgay! 2013:
The Gates: Love, Liberation and Respect
Wednesday 9th October, 6pm to 8pm (£3/free)

Join GWL’s Sue John in conversation with Rachel Jury, Artistic Director of conFAB, in advance of the world premiere theatre production of ‘The Gates: Love, Liberation and Respect’ (a joint conFAB and Dance HQ production).

Glasgow Women’s Library houses the UK’s National Lesbian Archive Collection and this is a chance to look at some rare post-war materials, find out more about the central role of the Gateways Club in lesbian culture and hear about conFAB’s production: “West Side Story meets Cabaret meets Chicago,a passionate extravaganza of 1950s Blues, Jazz, and Gospel”.
