The pieces are broken down so you are able to learn them and you can also download songs to practise at home. Its a great way to release the stresess of life. Singing can help you to releases' happy hormones' which make you feel happy and you leave in a better state of mind. It has helped me through a difficult time. It is fun.

Quentin Crisp: Naked Hope written and performed by Mark Farrelly
directed by Linda Marlowe Ask yourself this. If there were no praise or blame who would I be? Mark Farrellys hugely acclaimed solo play returns to the Jack Studio! From a conventional upbringing to global notoriety via The Naked Civil Servant, Quentin Crisp was one of the most memorable figures of the twentieth century. Naked Hope depicts the legendary Quentin Crisp at two phases of his extraordinary life. Firstly in the late 1960s in his filthy Chelsea flat (Dont lose your nerve: after the first four years the dust wont get any worse). Here Quentin surveys a lifetime of degradation and rejection. Repeatedly beaten for being flamboyantly gay as early as the 1930s, ostracised simply for daring to live life on his own terms. The play then transitions the audience to New York in the 1990s. Here a much older Quentin, finally embraced by society, regales the audience with his sharply-observed, hard-earned philosophy on how to have a lifestyle: Life will be more difficult if you try to become yourself. But avoiding this difficulty renders life meaningless. So discover who you are. And be it. Like mad!. Naked Hope is a glorious, uplifting celebration of the urgent necessity to be yourself. Wednesday 14 Saturday 17 January 2026 at 7.30pm No performances: Sundays and Mondays Tickets: 17, 15 conc, suitable for 13+ Terms and conditions apply when booking. Our concessionary price tickets are for: full-time students, over 65s, registered unwaged, under 18s and Equity Members. Please bring proof of status.Read more
