ALEXIS GREGORY

Alexis is a playwright, performer, director and producer whose work explores LGBT themes. He will be performing a section from his critically acclaimed solo verbatim theatre piece on queer activism across the decades, 'Riot Act'. 'Riot Act' has previously been performed in the West End (Duchess Theatre) and on two UK tours. He's performed 'pop-up' versions at venues as varied as Soho House, Heaven Nightclub, the National Theatre's Riverside Stage and at the Science Museum.

'Riot Act' reviews include:

‘Riot Act is at once frank, warm and uninhibited…a forceful reminder of the importance of knowing your history’. Evening Standard

‘This stand-out piece of theatre will become part of LGBT cultural heritage…a career defining performance’. Attitude Magazine

‘The most moving pieces of new queer writing in London’. The Spy in the Stalls

Alexis' other plays include 'Sex/Crime' (two sell out runs; Soho Theatre / The Glory), 'Safe' on LGBTQ+ youth homelessness (Soho Theatre, London Theatre Workshop, Reading Rep and self-directed; Norwich Theatre Royal and a special online version for Hackney Empire) and 'Slap' (Theatre Royal Stratford East, and Channel 4's first ever onsite theatre presentation).

His plays are published by Bloomsbury Publishing.
