by Tim Fountain
Unity Theatre

Liverpool
In partnership with Unity Theatre Liverpool we present one of the first trailblazers

A Homotopia & Glasgay co-commission.
Tuesday 13th - Saturday 17th May 2008
Rock 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 Willson, the man who made a star of Rock Hudson;
the most unscrupulous agent in Los Angeles; the man who would do anything
to protect his money-spinning protégé.
Starring the incomparable Bette Bourne and written by Tim Fountain, 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"

ROCK is commissioned by Homotopia and Glasgay!, and funded by Arts Council
