Pride in Ageing





prideinageing@lgbt.foundation

Join us for our social group for LGBTQ+ people aged over 50 in Liverpool, which is run by LGBT Foundation’s Pride in Ageing programme.

For our November meeting we will be attending a performance of Raising the Wreck: Revisited at Unity Theatre.

For centuries four women pirates have been lying on a wreck at the bottom of the sea.

Grace O’Malley, Aku, Mary Read and Zoa have drifted through time unperturbed by the progress of the modern age. Until 1985 when they were visited by Jenny who took their stories into the 1980’s. In 2026 Jenny falls through time again and lands on their long-forgotten shipwreck, armed with nothing but a mobile phone and a head full of questions. Blending history, mythology and contemporary politics with humour, music and. Storytelling “Raising The Wreck – Revisited” is a bold re-imagining of Sue Frumin’s pioneering play. Originally commissioned by Gay Sweatshop Theatre Company the production was one of the first British plays to feature a multi-racial cast of women and to place lesbian stories.

Please note that 7.30pm is the start time of the show, and we will be gathering in the foyer of the theatre 15 minutes before. Your ticket booking with us includes a free ticket to see the performance with our group, you do not need to make a separate booking with the theatre.
