Rikki Beadle-Blair MBE is a multi-award-winning black gay theatre- and film-maker. A tireless mentor of minority and socially-outsider writers and performers, he's been struck by the lack of 'out' pieces suitable for performing at auditions by increasingly out and defiant generations of bold young actors. Fierce is his - and their - response, designed to supply the increasing demand for LGBTQ+ audition pieces, Fierce is a collection of short queer monologues by fresh and exciting new voices.
