McQueen

<i>You look otherworldly. Like all my girls. This will make you a queen. Like years ago and people wore clothes like weapons like weapons against poor people because even is you were hungry how could you raise your fist against what looked like a god? But I can make things that are weapons against day to day stuff.<br/></i><br/>A girl has watched McQueen's Mayfair house for eleven consecutive days. Tonight she climbs down from her watching tree and breaks into his house to steal a dress to become someone special. He catches her but instead of calling the police they embark together on a journey through London and into his heart. <br/><br/>The play captures the fairy-story landscape of McQueen's mind - the landscape seen in his immortal shows - where with a dress an urchin can become an Amazon and where beauty might just help us survive the night. <i>McQueen </i>is a journey into the visionary imagination and dark dream world of Alexander McQueen fashion's greatest contemporary artist.<br/><br/>James Phillips's play<i> </i>received its world premiere at St James Theatre London on 12 May 2015.
