London Ambassador Theatre – Evening With Quentin Crisp – 1978

About this An Evening With Quentin Crisp theatre programme

A programme from the Ambassador Theatre, London, dated 30 January 1978, for An Evening With Quentin Crisp. Crisp’s one-man show combined witty reflections on style and life with questions from the audience, delivered with the aphoristic charm that made him one of the most quoted Englishmen of his day. A souvenir of a unique cultural figure, this is a fascinating piece of 1970s theatre memorabilia.
