Brighton Dome’s autumn season promises an eclectic mix of inclusive, accessible events featuring acclaimed productions and artists from across the UK and beyond. Hailed as "exceptional" by The Guardian, the new musical from Breach Theatre , After The Act, (November 8 to 9) is co-produced with Brighton Dome and considers the impact of Section 28 on real lives through a lens of pride, protest, humour and an original, 80s synths-packed live score. Comedian and performance artist Lucy McCormick will bring her critically acclaimed cabaret Lucy And Friends (November 1 and 2) to Brighton which will feature a mix of pole dancing, cat impressions and clairvoyance.
