This article describes the Spare Tyre Theatre Company, which has been creating theatre about gay issues including homophobia since the mid-nineties. They have worked with a variety of groups and over the years have aimed their projects at a younger and younger age group. Shows are accompanied by workshops run by the actors, and audiences are deliberately kept small so that everyone who watches the show has a chance to speak. The teachers who attend the theatre receive an information packet full of practical ideas for lesson plans so that they may pursue the ideas in subsequent classes.
