 Trouser-Wearing Characters

Trouser-Wearing Characters

Synopsis:
This unique show mixes music, history and performance engaging us with Rose's favourite cross-dressing, bygone characters. It skilfully combines stories, vignettes and songs about these eclectic, historical figures from 50's media star Nancy Spain (a trouser-wearing character) to masquerader Colonel' Victor Barker (aka Valerie L A Smith), cabaret legend Douglas Byng, to the F***ing Lady' herself, actress Coral Browne.
