Look what the cast dragged in
It’s coincidence local thespians are staging Drag Queens On Trial in a theatre run by an actor who has portrayed a cross-dresser himself.
Duncan Garage Showroom boss Longevity John Falkner – who depicted a cross-dressing club owner in Second Coming – is hosting the daring melodramatic comedy by first-time director Naomi Boutwell.
She encourages viewers to look beyond lipstick and lingerie worn by her three actors.
“I hope they feel empowered with a sense of being true to themselves and I hope they enjoy seeing some alternative theatre,” Boutwell, 27, says of Canuck Sky Gilbert’s script.
