Riot Act is a powerful brand-new verbatim theatre piece created especially for the King''s Head Theatre Queer Season.
''You know what''s strange, I felt safer on the night of the riots, on the sidewalk in front of Stonewall, than I did in my own hometown.''
''I''m a drag queen. I want to live. I want to survive. As an older person, I''m sixty-five now, I couldn''t give a f cking shit.''
''In London, the idea of ''safe sex'' was: don''t sleep with Americans. James was older; a mature student. He was twenty-two years old when he died.''
Playwright and performer Alexis Gregory interviewed one of the only remaining Stonewall survivors, a radical drag icon from 1970s London and a 1990s London ACT UP AIDS activist. This solo theatre piece channels six decades of queer history. Hard-hitting, provocative, tender, truthful, funny, political and personal, these are stories of queerness, activism, addiction, sex, drag, community, conflict, youth, ageing, fierce queens and a Hollywood diva.
