Find out more about :Love Song To Lavender Menace play by James Ley at Lyceum, Edinburgh, 20171012 to 20171023. Author talks in a :clip (accessed 2017-10-08) recorded in Waterstones, Princess St in which he states that that store was previously Scotland’s first gay night club "Fire Island" (which I visited frequently in the 80s). He says that Lavender Menace started in the cloak room of the night club in 1987. Review: :https://web.archive.org/web/20171016225159/https://www.thestage.co.uk/reviews/2017/love-song-lavender-menace-review-lyceum-edinburgh/
"It’s 1987 and shop workers Paul and David are getting ready for a celebration of the 5th anniversary of LAVENDER MENACE, Scotland’s foremost lesbian, gay, feminist bookshop. From its humble beginnings in the cloakroom of an Edinburgh nightclub, (that saw a performance from the Village People!), this trailblazing venture has become the beating heart of Edinburgh’s LGBT community. But can it survive in Thatchers changing Britain of capitalism and commodification? Love Song to Lavender Menace is a funny and moving testimony to the love and passion it takes to make something happen and the loss that is felt when you have to let it go.
