What's Wrong with Angry?

A heartfelt and uplifting drama about a young gay relationship in 1990s Britain and the impact of Section 28, presented by Progress Theatre.

What’s Wrong With Angry? by Patrick Wilde is a heartfelt, rebellious and ultimately uplifting story of a young gay relationship in 1990s Britain and the devastating impact of Section 28 on the gay community and its allies.

Set in Basingstoke, Hampshire, the play explores a political and cultural landscape far removed from nearby London, in a time before mobile phones and the internet, when the age of consent for gay men was 21 and Section 28 was on the statute book.
