<p>Crystal Galbraith, the playwright of Pride's Riot, discusses her inspiration for the play and the themes it explores. Pride's Riot follows two queer young people, Ryan and Andy, as they react to the news of Marsha P. Johnson's death and the impact it has on the queer community. Crystal emphasizes the importance of taking action against hate crimes and the need for justice. She also shares her writing process and the challenges she faced in capturing the tone and mood of the 90s setting. Crystal hopes that listeners will resonate with the characters' reactions and be inspired to speak up about their own experiences. </p> <p>About The Play:</p> <p>"Pride's A Riot" is a story set in 1992 that follows the journey of young Andy and Ryan as they navigate widespread discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community. After activist Marsha P. Johnson is found dead, likely murdered, Andy and Ryan organise a protest demanding justice. When violence erupts, injuring many, they realise more drastic action is needed. Undaunted, the friends press on, determined to force society to confront the violence and indifference that queer people face daily. Their struggle speaks to the power of marginalised voices rising in righteous anger against injustice, refusing to be silent or invisible any longer.</p> <p>Is a podcast supporting and showcasing new Audio Theatre writing.

Despite being the illegitimate son of the king., Alexander is determined to regain his lost titles and lands after being exiled from the realm.</p> <p>One day, a mysterious stranger visits Alexander's stronghold with a proposition to help him reclaim his former glory. Alexander takes this opportunity to recount his scandalous life story, starting from his early days of rebellion against the king alongside his father. Despite earning the permanent scorn of the crown prince, Alexander's father eventually claims the throne and rewards him with riches and responsibilities far beyond his station.</p> <p>This audio performance details Alexander’s complicated relationships with his mistress Mary, the mother of his children, and his devious political dealings that won him the hand of the Countess of Ross and nearly half a kingdom. But eventually, his unquenchable ambition and lack of restraint catch up with him, and he loses everything.</p> <p>The question remains: Will the stranger’s proposition be Alexander’s salvation or his undoing? Follow this gripping and gritty historical drama as Alexander dances with destiny to seize power in 14th-century Scotland.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong></strong><a href="https://www.thegreyhill.com/stories"><strong>About Stories From The Grey Hill Podcast:</strong></a><strong></strong></p> <p>Is a podcast supporting and showcasing new Audio Theatre writing.
