A King among men (a Drag King), Parker Dee (sensitive guy) reveals his thoughts and feelings on being a man. His privilege is a burden and he wants to be woke. He’s working on his vulnerability (as well as his dance moves). He’s a thinker and a philosopher.
Cringe as he turns a couple of audience members into his interns. Thrill as he questions his values and wrestles his masculinity into submission … will he defeat patriarchy or will he have a change of heart?
With songs: ‘Cissy my Cis’, ‘Dee-Licious’ and ‘If My Life Were a Film’.
‘Bold, gutsy and a brave new adventure in style.’ The Stage
‘Funny where it hurts.’ The Guardian
