Begin/End a new play by David Lane
Sometimes things just end
Not like in films and on TV
Not with explosions and music and fights
They just dissolve and disappear and you don't know why

Lili pounds out her anger and uncertainty, one length at a time in the swimming pool. Yaz won't become what others want and aspires to a life elsewhere.
The girls form an alliance, sparking two years of adventure and a seemingly unbreakable friendship.
A gang of two, they breathe freedom, possibility and ambition, but something unspoken grows between them. Lili develops feelings that push the boundaries of their friendship too far. It is the beginning and the end of everything.

A multimedia performance featuring VJing and a contemporary soundtrack by one of Britain's freshest new composers. Suitable for ages 14+

10:30am and 1:30pm, Half Moon Young People's Theatre, London

ANOTHER SIDE OF THE RAINBOW
Studies in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender lives
The London Borough of Southwark marks LGBT History Month 2010 with a photography installation, featuring profiles of some members of its LGBT community.
Another side of the rainbow demonstrates that there's more to sexual orientation than any one symbol can capture or communicate - even when it's the universally recognised rainbow flag.
The exhibition combines the photography of Rehan Jamil with segments from the life stories of the participants, resulting in an installation that ultimately celebrates the commonalities of the human condition.
Profiles include: The Worshipful Mayor of Southwark, Councillor Jeff Hook, LGBT rights activists Peter Tatchell and Sue Sanders, Supt Steve Deehan, Southwark Police, & Canon Giles Goddard, St John's, Waterloo.
