Gary Clarke Dance Company's 'Detention' opens in Nottingham on Thursday 08/05/25 before embarking on a major UK tour.
Detention is the third and final part of the 'Thatcher Trilogy' following the award winning and highly acclaimed 'Coal' and 'Wasteland'.
What unites this trilogy is 1980’s Britain, a time when our country was governed by Margaret Thatcher and how different marginalised communities fought for their human rights, their livelihoods and their existence.
Gary Clarke's powerful and personal working-class storytelling draws on public and private stories and testimonies, including a rare insight into the LGBT+ Switchboard Logbooks, combined with vivid choreography performed by a company of exceptional dancers, an evocative narrator, a local cast of LGBT+ people, striking designs in film, sound, light and costume and music tracks by the iconic band TEST DEPT.
