Forestillingen handler om Quentin Crisp (1908-1999) som døde bare en måned før sin 91-dag. Før det hadde hans frittalende tanker, skriverier og alternative livsstil inspirert generasjoner. Da han vokste opp i London-forstaden Sutton, sminket han seg, brukte neglelakk og farget håret i en tid få våget å skille seg ut og ble sjikanert av samfunnet. I en periode var han gutteprostituert og var i over 30 år aktmodell. I årene 1940-81 bodde han på hybel i London, deretter og livet ut i New York. Morten Rudå spiller rollen som Quentin Crisp.
