Quentin Crisp (1908-1999)

Twenty-five years on from his passing we celebrate the incomparable Quentin Crisp

For those of you fortunate to be in Manhattan tonight, don’t miss this – “An Evening of Quentin Crisp – A Celebration of Life in His Own Words”, a celebratory presentation by Mr. Crisp’s estate executor, Phillip Ward. The event will take place at the Gene Frankel Theatre (24 Bond Street) starting at 7pm
Special guests (including Jennifer Barton, Cynthia Carr, Jorge Clar, Peter Cramer, Brian Edward, Peter Hale, Cynthia Powell, Jack Waters, Laurence Watts, and also, Mr. Crisp’s great-niece, Michèle Goycoolea Crawford) will be reading excerpts from his books, alongside two short movies by filmmaker and author Steven Watson and Phillip Ward, and a rare “Alternative Queen’s Message” viewing.

For those who can’t make that date, there’s always this. Check out 2016 posting on the Allen Ginsberg Project
