A Life in Three acts, which won the Fringe Prize at the Edinburgh Festival and the Herald Archangel Prize, is the story of Bette Bourne, a famous performer and key figure of the post-war gay liberation movement. This lively, exciting work is an adaptation of some private conversations between Bourne and playwright Mark Ravenhill. Bourne presents it as a monologue, and it follows her childhood in post-war Britain, her life in the “Drag commune” of Notting Hill in the Seventies, her seminal roles in the birth of the Gay Liberation Front in Great Britain, the BLOOLIPS gay theatre company that is famous the world over, and much more.
