Started in 1985, the AIDS Memorial Quilt memorialises the lives lost to HIV with a series of personalised panels that, as they have become stitched together, form the largest – and yet most intimate – piece of public art in the world. That artwork inspired the creation of Elegies For Angels, Punks and Raging Queens, which strives to achieve the same effect with a combination of songs and free verse monologues.
The original writer Bill Russell adapted the script for this production and was in attendance throughtout rehearsals.
Paul performed in this emotional show at Londons Criterion Theatre in 2015.
