A 15 minute radio play set in 1980s Manchester amidst the AIDS crisis. The play follows partners Josie and Suz through the process of them taking care of their friend Jamie.
The play focusses on the sounds of joy and community, and the silence that follows tragedy, and highlights a lesser-platformed aspect of the AIDS crisis: that queer women showed up for the gay male and trans community when families and the government did not.
The play was aired on arts and culture radio station Reform Radio Manchester for their pride celebrations (June 2025).
“Don’t Leave Me This Way”
