Crystal Galbraith Interview
Crystal Galbraith, the playwright of Pride's Riot, discusses her inspiration for the play and the themes it explores. Pride's Riot follows two queer young people, Ryan and Andy, as they react to the news of Marsha P. Johnson's death and the impact it has on the queer community. Crystal emphasizes the importance of taking action against hate crimes and the need for justice. She also shares her writing process and the challenges she faced in capturing the tone and mood of the 90s setting. Crystal hopes that listeners will resonate with the characters' reactions and be inspired to speak up about their own experiences.
About The Play:
"Pride's A Riot" is a story set in 1992 that follows the journey of young Andy and Ryan as they navigate widespread discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community. After activist Marsha P. Johnson is found dead, likely murdered, Andy and Ryan organise a protest demanding justice. When violence erupts, injuring many, they realise more drastic action is needed. Undaunted, the friends press on, determined to force society to confront the violence and indifference that queer people face daily. Their struggle speaks to the power of marginalised voices rising in righteous anger against injustice, refusing to be silent or invisible any longer.
