Resident Alien: Quentin Crisp explains it all
By Tim Fountain
The highly acclaimed one-man show based on the life and writings of Quentin Crisp.
'The great majority of this absorbing monologue consists of Crisp's own words... wisely Fountain doesn't attempt any trudge through the life story... Instead Crisp treats us to his views on television, oral sex, the nature of style and the secret of happiness' Daily Telegraph
'Bourne, as much as Crisp, is one of the stately homos of England; the combination of the two is irresistible' Financial Times
'A lovely, affectionate tribute to Quentin Crisp' New York Observer
'Effortlessly witty' Time Out
'Funny, touching, unsentimental, sometimes even profound' The Times
'The authentic Crisp in all his subversive glory' Daily Telegraph
First Staged: Bush Theatre, London 1999, starring Bette Bourne
