Compleat Female Stage Beauty
Synopsis of Compleat Female Stage Beauty
The spotlight shines on the world of English theatre at the moment in history when women were first allowed on the stage. When King Charles II changes the law to let women act, the most famous male portrayer of female roles on the London stage loses his livelihood, his lover, and his sense of self... until fate and his desire for revenge give him the chance to take the stage again. "An intimate psycho-sexual backstage historical comedy... splendidly theatrical... a witty allusive game..." - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
