Clayton Littlewood (born in 1963 in Skegness) is the author of the book/play ''Dirty White Boy: Tales of Soho'' and the sequel, ''Goodbye to Soho'' (May 2012). == Life == Raised in Weston-Super-Mare Clayton attended Walliscote Primary School and Broadoak Comprehensive moving to London when he was nineteen. On arriving in London he formed a band with his friend Rob Brown called Spongefinger. The band recorded an album's worth of material and released a single called ''I Love to be Queer''. The single was reviewed in the gay press and played in the clubs but failed to chart. Clayton then went back to university and completed a BSc Hons degree in Cultural Studies and an MA in Film and Television. In July 1997 Clayton went to New York to try and meet Julie Andrews (who was appearing in Victor, Victoria) and give her a song he'd written called ''Last Night I Dreamt I was Julie Andrews''. By the time he got there she had already left the production. Clayton then telephoned Quentin Crisp and spent the day with him (Clayton describes this meeting in his latest book ''Goodbye to Soho''). In 1998 Clayton hosted a pirate radio station in Brighton posing as a 75-year-old West Country female aromatherapist by the name of Dr Bunty. In 1999 Clayton wrote a six episode comedy series with Joe Pearson called ''Roots''. It was rejected by a number of agents and broadcasters including the BBC who wrote, "This is the most disgusting piece of filth we have ever read. Do not contact us again." Clayton met his partner Jorge Betancourt in South Beach in March 2004. They got married in Provincetown (at the top of the Provincetown Monument) on 28 October 2005. Under the December 2005 ruling of the UK's Civil Partnership Act 2004 Jorge was thus able to move to the UK (Jorge's move to London was one of the first cases that the British Consulate in New York had dealt with). Jorge died in July 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clayton Littlewood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
