The festival will spread over two weeks with an incredible array of online shows from March 17th - 28th. Headlining the festival will be an evening in conversation with Hope Mill Theatre patron and creator of Channel 4's new drama, It's A Sin, Russell T Davies hosted by Julie Hesmondhalgh. Superbia, Hope Mill Theatre's partnering organisation, will host two key events within the festival. Hope Mill Theatre has also offered development grants worth £1,000 for 4 Manchester based queer theatre makers who will share new work in the festival. Turn On Fest is an opportunity for artists to grow and elevate LGBTQIA+ experiences, and is committed to creating a diverse, inclusive and accessible environment.
