         Radclyffe         XY(T)

Radclyffe

Synopsis:
at this unprecedented event, censored Victorian lesbian novelist Radclyffe Hall (portrayed by Kestryl Cael Lowrey) will address audiences for two nights as part of all Out Arts Fresh Fruit Festival. Radclyffe Hall was a butch who swaggered her way through the early 20th century. She smoked green cigars, had innumerable affairs, and wrote the censored lesbian classic, the Well of Loneliness. This pseudo-historical solo performance weaves stories from Radclyffe's life with what england's second most notorious invert would say about queer life today, such as: "what happened to 'romantic friendships'? What the hell is a 'genderqueer?! and where can a butch get a good haircut in this town?!?" Though Radclyffe Hall is a key figure in gay and lesbian history, she has never before been the focus of a theatrical performance. This world premiere will bring Ms. Hall forward into the 21st Century.
