Neptune Theatre Presents Casey & Diana: Queer History Panel
In 1991, at the height of the AIDS crisis, the residents of Casey House - Toronto's first free-standing AIDS Hospice - receive word that the Princess of Wales is coming to visit.
This potent and moving drama by Nick Green, vividly captures a moment in time when a rebel Princess, alongside fearless caregivers and advocates, reshaped the course of a pandemic - and how those stricken by the virus found hard-won dignity, community, and love in the face of astonishing hardship.
Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking panel discussion that delves into the history and impact of HIV AIDS here in Nova Scotia. This event brings together queer historians and local activists who will share their journeys, challenges, triumphs, and continued work in advocating for persons living with AIDS.
This panel will feature TumaYoung (Professor, Lawyer, AIDS activist) and LorneIzzard (HIV/AIDS Activist).
