 TEA 'N CRISP Created and Performed by Richard Louis James |
|||
|
"Tea 'N Crisp" is based on the writings and public appearances of the internationally precocious gay icon Quentin Crisp, and was performed during 2007 National Gay Pride week in Berkeley in celebration of flamboyant autonomy.
Quentin Crisp lived a life without shame, without reservation, and without compromise. His personality and convictions are as much an inspiration as the work of Richard Louis James, who brings Crisp back to life in this original solo piece. "Tea 'N Crisp" is presented by the Shotgun Players, which began "in 1992 when eleven people got together and put on a play in the basement of a pizza parlor. . . . The Shotgun Players is an ensemble of artists on a mission to create bold, relevant, affordable theater. We believe in the power of theater as a mechanism through which we and our community examine ourselves and the world."
