For those who admired him for his Intellect, Humanity and Courage.
 Dedicated to the memory of
Quentin Crisp
"I simply haven't the nerve to imagine a being, a force, a cause which keeps the planets revolving in their orbits and then suddenly stops in order to give me a bicycle with three speeds."
- Quentin Crisp

The play debuted at The Eureka Theatre, San Francisco in August 2002.

Capote, Crisp, Wilde and Williams wait for you at the ultimate 'after party' where truth is subjective and death might be a good career move.
