It's July 1967. In an old pub along The Albert Road, Silvertown, the landlord Rachel (Raymond Spinks) is preparing to mark the passing of the 1967 Sexual Offences Act and to ask his partner Pat (Patrick Conway) to move in with him. Pat sees this as a move to curb his penchant for 'cottaging' and sets about sabotaging the evening by flirting with some dangerous 'rough trade', Reg. Sally and Jack, a couple out on their anniversary, get caught up in Pat's mischief and the arrival of 'Miss Daphne' off a ship threatens their marriage.

Jonny Wooster (aka drag artist, Jonny Woo) presents work-in-progress readings of his play in an annex of the The Factory in Silvertown, re-purposed as a performance space. The play was inspired by a memory of Gay Liberation Front activist Stuart Feather about The Kent Arms, a North Woolwich pub frequented by gay men, sailors and locals in the 1960s. Jonny created the characters after talking to residents who remember the area in the 60s and senior gay men.

The staged readings of this two-act play will be presented by a full cast directed by Jo Tyabji and will be followed by a Q&A session with Jonny and contributors.

Co-commissioned by Theatre Royal Stratford East and the Royal Docks Team.

This event is supported by the Arts Council of England Lottery Fund

A collaboration between Projekt, the V & A, the University of East London and which was part of Newham Heritage Month.

Space was given for free for the month of May, where Communities from across the borough came together to make bricks from local industrial waste materials and make performances from local histories of housing and brick making.

The clay came from a housing project in the Royal Docks. Dug straight from the ground, the clay took many stages to process until it was ready for brick making. Here ceramics students from CityLit
helped to break down the clay. Rosanna Martin, founder of Cornwall's Brickfield, brought her expertise in brick making to East London

Workshop participants also watched a new theatre performance crafted by BA Acting students from the University of East London about housing in the borough.

Royal Docks Activity and Learning Centre's afterschool club joined us for a special brickmaking workshop, led by Brickfield support artists Zenna Tagney and Bobi MacFadzean.

We also hosted a very special week for a group of individuals passionate about brick, ceramics and housing activism in collaboration with Newham Council's Youth Empowerment Team.

As the kiln fired bricks made by the local community, UEL MA Performing Arts students shared their newly devised performances about histories of brick and housing in Newham.

Stratford's Building Crafts College provided two days of training to Oluwadamilola Nogzi Oluwatobi Akinyosade for her performance.
