Throughout history, LGBTQ+ people have found solace, support, and security in the stories of others. In "Lifeboats", a cast of 4 take on different roles throughout the cycle, sometimes playing the role of someone in the LGBTQ+ community, or a queer icon from history. They come together to share their stories; a young man recounts having his eyes opened on a family holiday, a woman pines for her next-door neighbour, Oscar Wilde shares his wisdom, and Anne Lister recounts her wedding day.
