Drag queens on trial

by Sky Gilbert

Three drag queens act in a play within a play. Each one is put on trial, accused of being a drag queen. Between trials, the queens gossip and bicker while readying their makeup and changing outfits. They also sing and dance for the audience. Set in the 80s, the queens comment on the horrors and effects of the AIDs crisis.
