An Englishman in New York is now showing on the Logo Network. The film features a stellar cast and also marks the motion picture debut of Broadway favorite Nick Adams.
An Englishman in New York picks up where "The Naked Civil Servant" left off, following the maverick gay writer, Quentin Crisp, through Manhattan's high society in the 80's, the decade of AIDS and celebrity.
Press notes state, "In the film John Hurt reprises his role as Quentin Crisp, this time in the latter years of the legend's life. The film begins in the late ‘70s when Crisp is invited to New York to dispense his unique brand of advice from the stage in an one-man off-Broadway show called "How to Be A Happy Person." The tumultuous love affair between the wry eccentric and the Big Apple begins instantly upon his arrival; the bond is cemented when he attains resident alien status based on his "unique qualities." Through the years, his talent and wit bring a host of uncommon characters into his circle, but it's also that same outspoken nature that occasionally puts him at odds with the gay community.
With an outstanding ensemble cast that includes Denis O'Hare, Swoosie Kurtz, Jonathan Tucker, Cynthia Nixon, and Nick Adams and a nostalgic, infectious soundtrack, An Englishman In New York will please both longtime fans of Quentin Crisp and those encountering this delightful, prolific, and influential gay pioneer for the first time."

Nick Adams was last seen on Broadway as 'Liver Lips Louie' in the recent revival of Guys & Dolls.
He was featured on the cover of the July/August 2009 issue of Dance Spirit magazine. He also headlined the debut edition of the sexy dance production "Erotic Broadway" at the Triad Theatre in June. Adams is perhaps best known for his role as Larry in the recent Broadway revival of A Chorus Line opposite Mario Lopez. He also appeared on Broadway in Chicago and The Pirate Queen.
