Rachel lit This Islands Mine at the Kings Head Theatre Islington in May 2019. The show ran from Wednesday 15th May – 18th June 2019. The play is written by Philip Osment and Directed and Designed by Philip Wilson.

This Island’s Mine was originally performed by Gay Sweatshop in 1988. Now, three decades after the introduction of Section 28 banning positive representations of homosexuality, Philip Osment’s passionate and lyrical play, of outsiders, exiles and refugees, is all too resonant.
