Media Reviews
'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 'Bette Bourne is one of the most compelling figures I have ever seen on stage... He becomes Crisp almost to the life... Fountain both assembles Crisp's greatest epigrammatic hits... and knits them together with material which is plausibly in character' Financial Times Resident Alein 'turns a solitary man into a singular entertainment' Time Out
