Painted, Tainted, Sainted: Four Plays by Sky Gilbert

by Sky Gilbert

Summary

In 1985, Toronto was shocked and excited by a rude wake-up call. The Drag Queens had arrived. In "Drag Queens on Trial," Sky Gilbert's drag queens, Lana Lust, Judy Goose, and Marlene Delorme were divinely decadent and serenely triumphant in the face of all disasters - from bad hair days to AIDS. The three queens went on to travel to the stars in the internationally produced "Drag Queens in Outer Space." Gilbert's fascination with drag continued with the Dora Mavor Moore Award-winning "Suzie Private Secretary," and his 1995 "play with no plot or meaning," "Jim Dandy," still stirs up controversy with critics. Read all these self-admitted 'smutty plays' here, uncut, unexpurgated, gay and proud!
