The Age of Consent
A piece of musical and political history from 1980s Britain, live and reimagined through the voices of ground-breaking queer and trans contemporary artists
Join us for a musical celebration, and a collective call to action for the work still to be done in the fight for queer and trans liberation. Originally created in 2024 to celebrate 40 years of Bronski Beat’s debut album, The Age of Consent is now back by popular demand, re-energised and revitalised.
An unashamed portrait of radical queerness in 1980s Britain, The Age of Consent was a pivotal moment in LGBTQIA+ cultural history, acting as a beacon of hope for a generation of disenfranchised LGBTQIA+ youth.
The show features a powerhouse line-up (plus more artists to be announced), backed by The Chateau Collective; a specially curated queer house band performing bold new arrangements of the record.
Presented by The Chateau and Southbank Centre
