Quentin
Crisp: Naked Hope
Written
& Performed by Mark Farrelly
Thursday 27th February 2025, 7.00pm
“Ask yourself
this. If there were no praise or blame –
who would I be?”
Quentin Crisp:
Naked Hope is a solo show which debuted to rave reviews at the 2014 Edinburgh Festival.
It immediately transferred to the off-West End St. James. Theatre (now known as
The Other Palace), and has toured ever since, including Wilton’s Music Hall and
54 Below, New York.
Naked Hope
depicts the legendary Quentin Crisp at two phases of his extraordinary
life. Firstly in the late 1960s in his
filthy Chelsea flat (“Don’t lose your nerve: after the first four years the
dust won’t get any worse”). Here Quentin
surveys a lifetime of degradation and rejection. Repeatedly beaten for being flamboyantly gay
as early as the 1930s, ostracised simply for daring to live life on his own terms.
The play then
transitions the audience to New York in the 1990s. Here a much older Quentin, finally embraced
by society, regales the audience with his sharply-observed, hard-earned
philosophy on how to have a lifestyle: “Life will be more difficult if you try
to become yourself. But avoiding this
difficulty renders life meaningless. So
discover who you are. And be it. Like mad!”.
Naked Hope is
a glorious, uplifting celebration of the urgent necessity to be yourself.

Whittington

– Saturday 14th June 2025, 7.15pm
In
2023, injured Academy footballer Maya follows England’s progress through the
Women’s World Cup. The roar of the
Lionesses echoes a war cry from 1917. In
her Essex hometown, factory workers Sterling Ladies play for two whirlwind
seasons and never lose a match. Known as
the Dagenham Invincibles, they will lead the extraordinary movement of female
footballers through World War One. The
call of the past brings hope for the future and as the eras combine, The
Invincibles celebrates the rich history of women in football.

Terry
Pratchett’s Wyrd Sisters
Tuesday 14th
– Saturday 18th October 2025, 7.15pm
Terry Pratchett takes Shakespeare’s Macbeth and then turns
it up ‘till the knob comes off. It’s all
there – a wicked duke and duchess, the ghost of the murdered king, dim
soldiers, strolling players, a land in peril.
And who stands between the Kingdom and destruction? Three witches. Granny Weatherwax (intolerant,
self-opinionated, powerful), Nanny Ogg (down-to-earth, vulgar) and Margat
Garlick (naïve, fond of occult jewellery and bunnies).
Join us for this hilarious Halloween treat for all ages!
