Redline Collection at The Calder Bookshop and Theatre

Indigo Arts Collective is proud to present a one-night-only staged reading of Redline Collection by KJ Cuitiño Bjorge, taking place on Saturday 8 August at 6:30 pm at The Calder Bookshop and Theatre in London. A talkback with the cast and creative team will follow.

Set in Chicago in the early 1980s at the onset of the HIV/AIDS crisis, Redline Collection is a powerful, character-driven drama that follows four queer women navigating careers, relationships, and identity in a rapidly shifting world. As an unknown illness begins to devastate their community, the play charts their evolving roles as friends, caregivers, and witnesses, illuminating the often-overlooked contributions of lesbian women on the frontlines of care and activism during the AIDS epidemic. Through its intimate storytelling, the play explores themes of chosen family, resilience, grief, and joy in the midst of pain. Redline Collection offers a moving portrait of a community under pressure and a poignant reflection on love and survival in the face of crisis.
