Sunday Play: Resident Alien

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

By Tim Fountain. Based on the writings of Quentin Crisp.

From The Naked Civil Servant to a grand self-exile in New York City, Quentin Crisp was one of England's strangest exports. Laughter and poignancy greeted this acclaimed stage drama, with Crisp's death in Manchester following the first performances. Bette Bourne re-creates his powerful interpretation for the radio.
