The September 1 closing night party of Penny Arcade‘s Bitch! Dyke! Faghag! Whore!, running at the Old Vic Tunnels in London, will take place in solidarity with the jailed Russian feminist punk-rock group Pussy Riot.

The closing party will feature performances by Viv Albertine of The Slits and DJ Mark Moore of S’Express. A portion of the proceeds from the event will support Amnesty International.

First produced in New York 20 years ago, Bitch! Dyke! Faghag! Whore! is a multi-media spectacle that includes her infamous monologues about the daily life of a receptionist in a brothel, the upbringing and rearing of a ‘faghag’, the evolution of the New York gay scene, and the heartbreak of HIV and AIDS.
