00:11 And rather heartening for someone who remembers a time when...
00:16 I'm trying to put this into words, but it was illegal to be gay.
00:23 Sounds mad, doesn't it?
00:25 It is incredible, isn't it?
00:27 There was a time.
00:29 Not that long ago when it was illegal to be what you were born.
00:34 But when these two guys kiss, there's a roar of approval, isn't there?
00:42 There is, yes. It's lovely.
00:43 From a perfectly ordinary theatre audience, which makes me think that theatre audiences are probably the best people in the world.
00:50 Yes, I think you're right.
00:53 Well, you know, they're on the whole socially liberal, aren't they? And they're interested in people and interested in things that they don't know about.
