Created and performed by Alexis Gregory, this raw solo performance blends stage and screen to trace six decades of LGBTQ+ history. Filmed at London's Hackney Empire and directed by Rikki Beadle-Blair, Gregory channels three activists through verbatim monologues that are unfiltered, urgent, and laced with dark humor. He embodies Michael, recounting the Stonewall rebellion; Lavinia, a radical 1970s drag artist; and Paul, a 1990s AIDS activist. Their words carry us from street protests to underground clubs and hospital wards. Minimalist staging amplifies these voices, making their resilience visceral. Whether you're drawn to the fire of activism or simply extraordinary storytelling, "Riot Act" confronts, captivates, and demands to be heard.
