With honesty, humour and occasional anger, performer Bette Bourne
tells the playwright Mark Ravenhill about his brave and flamboyant
life. Crafted from transcripts of a series of long, private
conversations, actor Bette Bourne reminisces and replays scenes
from his life from a postwar childhood,a stint as a classical actor
in the late 60s, to living in a drag commune in Notting Hill and
being an active member of the Gay Liberation Front. Bette then
talks about his touring with the New York based Hot Peaches cabaret
group and founding his own cabaret troop, Bloolips, which redefined
the term gay theatre by creating their very own unique celebration
of dramatic and colourful homosexuality. The piece, in three parts,
marks a different series of events in Bette's life to reveal both a
portrait of a pioneering, radical individual and a historical
document of the struggles and achievements of gay liberation.
