‘Remember our second class together, when we had to describe our Political Utopias? This is mine.’

Andy wanted to be top of his class this year. Ben wanted to be LSE’s star cricketer. Both wanted to listen to Carole King records. Neither expected to be part of the movement that pioneered the first Gay Pride in London.

Our 1972 is a political romance that pays tribute to the LGBTQ+ trailblazers of the 1970s. Follow Andrew and Benjamin as they wrestle with their realities and ideologies at the turning point of Queer British politics.

Award-winning production company Springbok returns to The Hope Theatre for a third time, for the debut of Josh Maughan’s new play.
