It's a Drag

Cross-Dressing in Performance

Beschreibung

It's a Drag: Cross-Dressing in Performancelooks at how performers over the whole period of theatrical history have cross-dressed and why: to tell stories, to amuse, to create memorable alter-egos, to call attention to social and political issues, or merely for expediency. Janet Tennant considers the present and future, and whether the drive towards gender equality will render cross-dressing redundant.

Autor

Janet Tennant spent many years lecturing, researching, and training in Europe and beyond, focusing on improving workplace relationships. Her last book, Sax Appeal, tells the life story of the indomitable Ivy Benson, who led a band of all-female musicians to entertain American and British troops in World War II and post-war. Tennant's fascination with cross-dressing originated in her time as an amateur actor, often playing the glamorous prince in pantomime and less glamorous male roles in girls' school Shakespeare productions. She has four grown children and lives with her partner in Lichfield, UK.
