Five great meals, five great walks and five great authors to read:

  • The Importance of Being Earnest and more Wilde
  • Our Lady of the Flowers and more Genet
  • The House of Bernarda Alba and more Lorca
  • Loot and more sixties and seventies drama
  • Aldara and more contemporary ideas

The authors of these great works stand out for the quality of their writing alone. The title Gay Plays is misleading: these great works do not all deal with the sexuality of their authors. This celebration of gay writing is not an exploration of gay themes in literature, but an approach to understanding whether there is a “queer eye”.  These issues affect everyone regardless of their gender, sexuality or sex.  SiM is all about letting texts speak for themselves, but alongside the readings there is also a booklet of readings that will provoke discussion and dialogue.

There are five walks through the hills of Asturias, which will add an extra dimension to the readings.  Our top-class lunches use the best of local produce, with vegetables from our own organic gardens.

You can stay in one of our houses if you would like to. There are other options nearby. Just ask.
