Product Description

Five stand-up theatre plays from "the female counterpart to Quentin Crisp" (Evening Standard) Who does Claire Dowie think she is? In Adult Child/Dead Child she invented an imaginary friend to be all the things she wasn't allowed to be...In Why is John Lennon Wearing A Skirt? She hated being a girl but what's the alternative? In Death and Dancing she was determined to be anything she wanted to be...In Drag Act Mother would have been proud. In Leaking From Every Orifice she was a lesbian, had a sexual relationship with a gay man and ended up pregnant..."She make you laugh as she kicks you in the teeth" (Guardian)

A spectular book revealing the complexities of mind and soul 16 Oct 1999

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

Claire Dowies work is unconventional, and yet is surprising easy to read and follow. I mhave found A-Level students have a great affinity with her own arousing feelins.

Moving, Insightful, Informative 24 July 2009

By stagefrog2 - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

I absolutely love these plays, especially "Why is John Lennon Wearing a Skirt?" and its follow up, "Leaking from Every Orifice." I find Dowie's work to be both laugh-out-loud funny and incredibly moving.
