Tickets
Mark Farrelly's critically acclaimed one-man show about the life and wit of Quentin Crisp comes to the Millgate as part of the 2018 international tour.


"Discover who you are. And be it - like mad!"

QUENTIN CRISP

From a conventional Surrey upbringing to global notoriety via The Naked Civil Servant, Quentin Crisp was an extraordinary raconteur, wit and one of the most memorable figures of the twentieth century. Refusing to fit in with society, he was routinely beaten on London's streets for decades, but became an international treasure.

 

This much-acclaimed production, following a UK tour and off-West End season at the St. James Theatre, shows Quentin both in his beloved Chelsea flat in the 1960s, and in his adopted New York, with the new millennium beckoning...

 

Naked Hope is a glorious, uplifting celebration of

the urgent necessity to be your true self.

 

Mark Farrelly recently appeared at Leicester Square Theatre in his other hit solo show, The Silence of Snow: The Life of Patrick Hamilton. Other West End credits include Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? opposite Matthew Kelly. He is directed by renowned EastEnders star Linda Marlowe, who has won awards for her own solo work such as Berkoff’s Women.
