Críticas
'A Life in Three Acts is Mark Ravenhill's genial engagement with the life and times of actor, activist and drag queen Bette Bourne, and is a turnaround from the increasingly conceptual furrow the playwright has ploughed of late.' Andrzej Lukowski, Metro (London), 24.9.09 '[A Life in Three Acts] is based on a series of edited transcripts of conversations that have taken place...bewteen [Bette] Bourne and playwright Mark Ravenhill. If that sounds dull, it isn't - at least not to anyone with an interest in tehatre history (Bourne began his career playing at the Old Vic and alongside Ian McKellin in Edward II), working-class social history, gay rights, other people's families and sparkly frocks. By my reckoning, that covers pretty much most of the population.' Lyn Gardner, Guardian, 21.8.09 'Bourne's reminiscences are rich, ripe and often wonderfully funny' : 'The mixture of anger, compassion and emotional rawness here, combined with a rigorous lack of sentimentality, strikes me as admirable' Charles Spencer, The Telegraph,10.02.10 'The result is a frank and often wildly funny script: a vivid look at Gay Lib, as well as a personal portrait of a radical actor.' Whatsonstage.com (February 2010)
Reseña del editor
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marks a different series of events in Bette's life to reveal both a portrait of a pioneering, radical individual and a historical document of the struggles and achievements of gay liberation.
