DRAMATIC THEATRE: The Campaign - Underground Theatre Company, PIP Theatre

Title: The Campaign

Presented By: Underground Theatre Company

Genre: Drama, Historical

Synopsis: The Campaign is an emotionally-charged, real-life account of the 1988 events that led to the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Tasmania. The story follows the arrest of over one hundred activists at Salamanca Market who defied a ban on a petition stall calling for the decriminalisation of sexual activity between consenting adult males. This spark ignited a passionate and historic campaign to change one of the most draconian laws in the Western world, which, by its repeal, became the last of its kind in Australia. Based on personal testimonies, media reports, and parliamentary transcripts, The Campaign chronicles the journey from exclusion to inclusion, from opposition to acceptance, and from hatred to embrace.
