Work:: Stevenage (S1887883856)
In August of 1968 a young man wearing a brown corduroy suit travelled from his home in the Midlands and ran away to Stevenage New Town. Something happened there, or didn't happen, and what happened because of what didn't happen is what you are paying to have me tell you. Well, that's not entirely true. I invited you. But you must have been interested enough to come. And it means that I must have a stake in all this. Putting things straight. Getting it all out in the open...

Stevenage is a multimedia solo performance by transgender artist Mandy Romero. Stevenage - the first English New Town - is an unlikely subject, but it’s a performance which beautifully explores many interlinked lives - the ‘young man in the brown corduroy suit’, an English pastoral poet, a young woman who moved south in the early years of the 20th century, a young film actor, a town, two villages and the lives of a post-war generation.
