Description
Claude Lemieux is the misfit farm boy from Ste. Eutache who flees to Montreal where he becomes a fashionable hairdresser by day and "a woman of the wo
...
rld by night". He is "Hosanna", a drag queen with the biggest mouth in Montreal, but whose lover is the handsome stud, Currette. Lemieux is a character as vivid, complicated and totally outrageous as any in literature. He appropriates the mythology of two legendary queens, Cleopatra and Elizabeth Taylor, to stage his dreamed of moment of personal triumph. Publicly humiliated by his peers he confronts his true nature and remakes his image to conform to the needs of his own emotional reality. Produced at the state of the art recording studios of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation with sound effects and music. Translated by John Van Burek and Bill Glassco Performed by Richard Monnette and Richard Donat Approximate Duration 1 Hour
