Misleading Ladies

on BBC Radio 2

Like many actors,
Denis Quilley has donned a frock, wig and heels for his art, most notably in Privates on Parade, now being revived with Tony Slattery. Here he investigates the place that the female impersonator has in British showbusiness, from its beginnings through the troop entertainments of the Second World War to its pinnacle with Danny La Rue. Hinge and Bracket, Dame Edna and company prove that, though as ladies they may be misleading, they are anything but a drag. A Pier production
