Locusts
Orange Works is proud to present "Locusts" - a powerful new play exploring the impact of the past on present day life.  In a compelling mix of drama and northern humour, love, family and faith are put to the test.
 
Locusts tells the story of Stephen, whose past resurfaces as Pete, a once-trusted church leader, reappears - asking for Stephen’s help in repeating damaging mistakes.  Stephen’s partner, Jeff, is facing problems of his own, and knows nothing of this part of Stephen’s past. Now, they must all face the truth. 

The play masterfully weaves together real-life experiences of gay conversion therapy within an evangelical church into a gripping and sensitively performed fictional storyline.
 
Locusts received critical and audience acclaim at the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, including stellar four and five-star reviews.
