Quentin Crisp: The Last Word

A new play from the author of The Naked Civil Servant and -How to Become a Virgin_! Author, poet, actor, wit, icon, and style guru Quentin Crisp recorded his compelling farewell autobiography to the world shortly before his death in 1999. The work remained unpublished for nearly 20 years. Now, edited for the stage, The Last Word belongs to Quentin. In the style of his award-winning one-man show which toured the world, Quentin Crisp's The Last Word is a hilarious sermon on how to cultivate a lifestyle through observations on love, wealth, society, and entertainment, in the words of the man who inspired Sting's hit song "An Englishman in New York". But as the notorious raconteur prepares for his final exit, what tales remain untold and what revelations are yet to come?
