Simply brilliant.
Quentin Crisp's wit shines and cuts like a diamond as he tells the story of his
life as a gay man, determined to live his life his way in an outraged world.
John Hurt gives an evocative performance in the title role. Simply
brilliant.
Adapted from his best-selling autobiography, THE NAKED CIVIL SERVANT tells the coming-of-age story of Quentin Crisp, a homosexual trying to live an openly flamboyant and gay lifestyle in the intolerant pre-war years. It is easy to see why Crisp is considered by some to be the 20th century's equivalent of Oscar Wilde, but it's his unflinching desire not to compromise his lifestyle to suit the conventions of society that makes this play by turns funny, tragic and heartwarming.
