World Premiere Homotopia and Glasgay in a co-promotion with unity RockBy Tim Fountain. Starring Bette BourneTuesday 13 to Saturday 17 MayRock Hudson was the biggest screen idol in 1950s Hollywood, the ultimate Tinseltown hunk. But his career was perpetually under threat from Confidential magazine, every queer actor’s nemesis. Only one man stood between stardom and oblivion.Rock is the story of Henry Wilson - the man who created the Hollywood star; propelled him to stardom and would do anything to protect his money-spinning protégé. It is a behind the scenes story of fame, greed and desire set in a Hollywood obsessed with top-billing and the bottom line. Rock brings the seamy world of 1950s Hollywood to vivid life. Bette Bourne is one of the most compelling figures I have ever seen on a stage Financial Times Bette Bourne is one of the UK's leading performers, whose recent incarnation as Quentin Crisp in the highly successful Bush Theatre production of Resident Alien by Tim Fountain brought an entirely new perspective and audience to his work. Bette Bourne's legendary company, Bloolips, have produced, commissioned and presented award winning shows in London and abroad for over 30 years. Bette Bourne reflects the hopes, aspirations and concerns of a generation of gay and lesbian people in the UK and abroad. Rock is commissioned by Homotopia and Glasgay!, and funded by Arts Council England showtime 8:00pm tickets £12.00/£10.00 concessions watch interviews with both Bette Bourne and Tim Fountain at Homotopia TV BOOK HERE
