Jo Foster, Barney Doran & Anna Fenton Garvey on May Day: Queer Joy, Community & Mythic Storytelling

I chat with Jo Foster, Barney Doran, and Anna Fenton Garvey about MAY DAY, a bold new queer mystical musical exploring real lived experiences through myth and music. We discuss how the show grew from interviews with queer and trans swimmers, the importance of reclaiming community spaces like the heath, and the challenge of creating a queer world that’s both playful and political. Jo shares their vision for being a voice for queer joy, Barney reflects on the power of sanctuary in nature, and Anna talks about provoking thought without pointing fingers.
