Fairly Lucid Productions presents MEMBER

In the 1980s, Sydney gangs found a new blood sport - hunting gays. From February 21st to March 4th, Fairly Lucid Productions will present the gripping production, MEMBER, a powerful look into the gay hate crime epidemic that blighted Sydney's coastline during the 1980s and 1990s.

MEMBER follows the story of former gang member, Corey, who is dealing with the actions of his past life. Performed by playwright Ben Noble, Corey now has his life in order but when his son reveals himself to be gay, how will he deal with the news? Will everything come crashing down?

During this time, gay hate crimes had been increasing rapidly with more than 80 murders and 30 unsolved cases. Young men hunted down, savagely beaten, bludgeoned, stabbed or thrown to their deaths by gangs of youths - some as young as 12 years old.

Utilising court transcripts, witness statements and archival material, this one-man show will present a dark and frightening Australian history lesson that will be sure to captivate Sydney audiences.
