Resident Alien by Tim Fountain ("based on the life, writings and musings of Quentin Crisp") at the New York Theatre Workshop
Resident Alien playwright Tim Miller seamlessly fused his own creative impute with the actual Quentin, making it impossible to tell which is which. In the future, people may think they are quoting Quentin Crisp when in fact they owe their borrowed wit to Miller.
Behind a barricade of unread books, set designer Neil Patel has created a dingy apartment so convincing "undusted" even I was itching to reach for the Fantastic (not to mention Raid). Mike Bradwell directed this production which ran for over a year at London's Bush Theater. The one-man show was in rehearsal when Quentin died.
