A Haunted Existence
Peterborough Pride 2019
In his new show, performance artist, Tom Marshman blends creative technology, music and projection as he retraces the forgotten true story of a young local man who was arrested for gross indecency.
In the early 1950s 17-year-old Geoffrey Patrick Williamson was on the Exeter to Bristol train when he got into a conversation with another man, who was also travelling in his train compartment and accused Geoffrey of making ‘improper approaches’ . The other man was a Railway Officer, in plain clothes. Geoffrey was arrested at the next stop, Taunton. When questioned, Williamson revealed the names of men he had had sex with, beginning a domino effect of arrests, prison, aversion therapy and suicide.
