It's a Drag: Cross-Dressing in Performance looks 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.
