## 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.

**Mark Farrelly** recently appeared at The Rialto in his other hit solo show, *The Silence of Snow: The Life of Patrick Hamilton*.

**His West End credits include:** *Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?* opposite **Matthew Kelly**. He is directed by the renowned *EastEnders* star Linda Marlowe, who has won awards for her own solo work such as *Berkoff’s Women.*

## ★★★★ ‘An uncanny feat of resurrection…Farrelly’s mastery of his audience is total’. TIME OUT

Collections will be made at each performance for the Rainbow Fund, who make grants to LGBT/HIV organisations in Brighton and Hove who deliver effective frontline services for LGBT people in Brighton and Hove.
