Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World

Riot Act is a powerful brand new verbatim theatre piece created especially for the Queer Season. You know whats strange, I felt safer on the night of the riots, on the sidewalk in front of Stonewall, than I did in my own home town. Im a drag queen. I want to live. I want to survive. As an older person, Im sixty five now, I couldnt give a f*cking shit. In London, the idea of safe sex was; dont 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, radical-drag icon Lavinia Co-Op and prominent 1990s London ACT UP AIDS activist Paul Burston and in this solo theatre piece, channels sex 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. Riot Act is the follow up piece to Gregorys recent critically acclaimed sell-out run of Sex / Crime (The Glory). His previous work includes Slap (Stratford East / Channel 4 / Concrete in Shoreditch) and Safe (Soho Theatre / London Theatre Workshop / Norwich Theatre Royal). He presents Riot Act in association with Team Angelica.
