It’s Liverpool, 1987. The AIDS epidemic threatens a generation of Queer people left with no one to turn to but themselves. Across the world, groups of Lesbian women hold out their hands to help – and right here in this city, Aster sits by Marc’s hospital bed… watching, wondering and reading.

A joyous and uplifting journey through bedrooms and nightclubs, bad oysters, surprises and secrets, Tell Me How it Ends is the 2023 Homotopia Writers’ Award winner.
