Quentin Crisp is an enigmatic and controversial figure in LGBT+ culture. At once a brave, totally unashamed gay man, he was also unpredictable and contradictory, preferring to walk his own path in life – regardless of the consequences.
Fresh from its Off-Broadway debut and milestone 100th performance, Mark Farrelly’s hugely acclaimed solo play comes to The Rialto Theatre, Dyke Road, Brighton for two special performances to celebrate Brighton Pride 2019.
From a conventional Surrey upbringing to global notoriety via “The Naked Civil Servant”, Quentin Crisp was an extraordinary raconteur and wit. Following a UK tour and off-West End season at the St. James Theatre, this much-acclaimed production shows Quentin both in his beloved Chelsea flat as the 1970s dawned, and in his final years in his adopted New York, with the new millennium beckoning.
