Without further ado, here's the four best events happening in Macclesfield this weekend...

Penultimate Play Performances

Queers

Appropriately taking place just days after Macc Pride, Queers will have a two-show run in Macclesfield this weekend.

Curated by Mark Gatiss.

A young soldier returning from the trenches of the First World War recollects a love that dare not speak its name. Almost one hundred years later, a groom-to-be prepares for his gay wedding.

Queers celebrates a century of evolving social attitudes and political milestones in British gay history, as seen through the eyes of individual experiences. This series of monologues was commissioned to mark the anniversary of the 1967 Sexual Offences Act, which partially decriminalised homosexuality, the first in a number of steps towards equality for the LGBTQ+ community
