Stonewall Uprising Anniversary Event: Alexis Gregory’s Riot Act Part 1

A HUGE thank you to the amazing Alexis Gregory for his powerful performance channelling Micheal-Anthony Nozzi at Gay's the Word on the 50th anniversary of the first night of the Stonewall Uprising Gay's the Word. Alexis Gregory's extraordinary verbatim theatre piece Riot Act breathes life into queer history. This is an extract from the Stonewall section. ‘You know what’s strange, I felt safer on the night of the riots, on the sidewalk in front of Stonewall, than I did in my own hometown.’ Playwright and performer Alexis Gregory interviewed one of the only remaining Stonewall survivors, as well as a radical drag icon from 1970s London and a 1990s London ACT UP AIDS activist. In Riot Act Alexis Gregory channels six decades of queer history. Hard-hitting, provocative, tender, truthful, funny, political and personal, these are stories of queerness, activism, addiction, sex, drag, community, conflict, youth, ageing, fierce queens and a Hollywood diva. Created from playwright and performer Alexis Gregory’s interviews with Michael-Anthony Nozzi, one of the only remaining Stonewall survivors; Lavinia Co-op, a 1970s London radical-drag artist; and Paul Burston, a prominent 1990s AIDS activist, this solo verbatim piece is a breathtaking journey through six decades of queer history. The new Stonewall commemorative edition of Riot Act is published by Oberon Books.
