Synopsis: | Autobiographical, raucously political, and accidentally profound, Boy in a Dress follows the life story thus far of La JohnJoseph, a third-gendered, fallen Catholic, ex-fashion model from the wrong side of the tracks as she moves from the council estates of Bootle to the strip clubs of San Francisco. Catholicism and drag, public sexuality and body dysmorphia. La JohnJoseph brings together an outrageous but heartfelt slew of true-life tales studded with her own reworkings of iconic songs from wide ranging artists such as Leonard Cohen, Justin Vivian Bond and Cole Porter. Boy in a Dress is a frank and almost charming triptych uniting all three of La JohnJosephs solo memoir shows: I Happen To Like New York, Underclass Hero and Notorious Beauty, in a retrospectacle exploring the intersection of class, gender, religion and identity formation from a somewhat unique cultural perspective. | |||||
