A Life in Three Acts at the Soho Theatre, review
A Life in Three Acts, based on the life of gay actor Bette Bourne, is like a vivid social history of homosexuality. Rating: * * * *

QUENTIN Crisp used to describe himself as the "stately homo of England" and it is a description that applies equally well to Bette Bourne, who a few years ago gave a superb performance as Crisp on stage.

Bourne is now 70, and in these fascinating, often moving conversations with the playwright Mark Ravenhill, in which they read from a script based on recordings made during earlier encounters, he reflects on a life some might view askance, but which strikes me as admirable, honest and brave.
