== Introduction ==

Elegies is a collection of songs and monologues inspired by the AIDS memorial quilt - a  memorial to the lives of people who have died of AIDS related causes.  

Surprisingly the show is fun and serves as a '''celebration''' of the lives of people affected. The subject matter is dark and moving at times, but overall is presented with humour and joy.
