girl.boy.child is a unique performance that draws on new research into queer/LGBTQ histories and has emerged from a collaboration between historian and renowned singer songwriter David McAlmont and Professor Richard Sandell, researcher and museum practitioner at the University of Leicester and the National Trust.
The performances are the culmination of research during the National Trust’s 2017 national public programme, Prejudice and Pride, and will shine a light on many of the houses’ lesser known LGBTQ histories.
Together McAlmont and Professor Sandell spent a year visiting Trust properties, meeting with experts, exploring the houses and researching the often lesser-known stories of same sex love and desire and gender diversity they hold.
