The AIDS Plays Project

Working on the promotional material for this important theatre initiative has been, and continues to be, a privilege. Spearheaded by Alastair Curtis, the AIDS Plays Project celebrates the playwrights whose lives were cut short by HIV/AIDS.

On the back of a postcard: "Dear Lylani – I hope you enjoy Christmas on Mars tonight. I'm so excited to have you in the audience. I want to thank you for all the world you've done on this project, from your incredible deep-diving on each playwright, your care, passion and nurture in the videos you've created, to the wisdom and experience you've lent to the marketing and development of our vision and ethos. It means a lot to me personally and to all of us working on this project. All my thankest love, Alastair. xx
