Quentin Crisp Naked Hope

Price: £12.50 – 16

Event description

7.30pm

AGE RECOMMENDATION 14+ (MILD REFERENCES TO SEXUALITY)

RUNNING TIME 95 MINUTES INC INTERVAL

From a conventional upbringing to global notoriety via The Naked Civil Servant, Quentin Crisp was one of the most memorable figures of the 20th century. Openly gay as early as the 1930s, Quentin spent decades being beaten up on London’s streets for his refusal to be anything less than himself. His courage, and the philosophy that evolved from those experiences, inspire to the present day.

Mark Farrelly’s hugely-acclaimed solo play, fresh from its milestone 150th performance, is packed with witty gems on everything from cleaning (“Don’t bother – after the first four years the dirt won’t get any worse”) to marriage (“Is there life after marriage? The answer is no”) and is a glorious, uplifting celebration of the urgent necessity to be your true self.

Tickets: £12.50 – £16
