About this title

Review:

'A Life in Three Acts is Mark Ravenhill's genial engagement with the life and times of actor, activist and drag queen Bette Bourne, and is a turnaround from the increasingly conceptual furrow the playwright has ploughed of late.' --Andrzej Lukowski, Metro (London) (24.9.09)

'...dull, it isn't - at least not to anyone with an interest in theatre history, working-class social history, gay rights, other people's families and sparkly frocks. By my reckoning, that covers pretty much most of the population.' --Lyn Gardner, Guardian (21.8.09)
