THIS EVENT HAS PASSED

SHUTTERS: A LESBIAN ROCK OPERA

PRESENTED BY THE VINDICATE COMPANY
A London girl meets a Los Angeles girl over 20 years – sex, drums and a rock opera.

Saving Liz is a young idealistic Punk Rocker who, with friends and lovers, sets out to change the world through music. But Saving Liz can’t seem to give the record producers what they want, and she becomes a shelved has-been.

Set against the backdrop of world events, Shutters: A Lesbian Rock Opera traces the lives of four lesbians over twenty years from their humble beginnings to their naïve longing for the perfect relationship. 

 A world premiere about love, lesbian spaces, and the songs that shape our lives.
