Naked Hope depicts Quentin at two phases of his extraordinary life: alone in his Chelsea flat in the 1960s\, certain that life has passed him by\, and thirty years later\, performing An Evening with Quentin Crisp in New York. Packed with witty gems on everything from cleaning (“Don’t bother – after the first four years the dust won’t get any worse”) to marriage (“Is there life after marriage? The answer is no”)\, Naked Hope is a glorious\, uplifting celebration of the urgent necessity to be your true self.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Ticket Prices \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Standard: £15.00 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Member: £12.00 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Children (-18yrs): £6.00 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Get Your Tickets Here URL:https://theherontheatre.com/whats-on/seasons-greetings-2/ LOCATION:The Heron Theatre\, Stanley Street\, Milnthorpe\, Cumbria\, LA7 7AS\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Drama,Upcoming Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://theherontheatre.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Seasons.webp ORGANIZER;CN="The Heron Management Committee":MAILTO:info@theherontheatre.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20261219T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20261219T213000 DTSTAMP:20260807T001204 CREATED:20260727T160836Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260727T160918Z UID:8397-1797708600-1797715800@theherontheatre.com SUMMARY:The Apple Sellers DESCRIPTION:DramaQUENTIN CRISP: NAKED HOPE  Written & Performed By Mark Farrelly Directed By Linda Marlowe Friday 23rd February 7.30pm Mark Farrelly (Howerd’s End\, Jarman) brings his hugely acclaimed solo play to The Heron for an up-close encounter with the original Englishman in New York.
