LGB Healthy Sex

Who caught what from whom in which room? Everyone gets to play the live whodunnit game that explores lesbian and gay sexual health.

For one night only the Dana Café will be transformed into three ‘sex crime scenes’: the kitchen, the conservatory and the bedroom… The aim of the game will be to find out who gave whom which sexually transmitted disease, how they did so, in which room, and how they could have avoided passing on the infection.

Our host, Christopher Green, will invite you to visit each scene, where you will find performing characters, scientists and saucy Science Museum objects as clues. As darling, or daring, detectives you may seductively, or sternly, pose questions to tease the answers out of our sexual health ‘expert witnesses’. But pay heed! Do not be waylaid by our cunning, duplicitous performing cast. Remember, they are all playing the innocent victim and you must resist their advances to solve the crime.

Pay close attention to the expert witnesses. Only they hold the facts that can help solve these sex crimes. They know the scientific advances in prevention and cure. And they can help with the finer details of having longer-lasting, healthier sex.

Time is of the essence – you have limited moments in each room to quiz the expert witnesses and uncover the trail of passion.

Not only are you the detectives, you are the jury too. Votes will be cast, but how many of you will have been misled?

This event is funded by the Wellcome Trust.
