- Samenvatting:
- Gender-bending is one of the most persistently seductive aspects of theatrical performance. Shakespeare's female roles were originally played by boys. Peter Pan is often impersonated by a woman. In English pantomime, the Dame and Principal Boy have traditionally been performed by a male comic and a female beauty. Nowadays drag performance is popular from rock 'n' roll, to chat shows, to political activism. Senelick takes readers on a tour of the stages and dressing-rooms of history, from tribal rituals and sacred prostitution, to contemporary musical comedy and performance art. With fascinating topics as soldier shows, operatic castrati, and the rise of lip synching.
