A sumptuously comic tale about the woman in every man, the man in every woman, and the power of theatre to uncover both.
It's 1927 and the men of a small prohibition-era town in Midwest America have decided to put on a performance for charity. The play? A sumptuous 17th Century melodrama played out against the backdrop of the French revolution. When all the men are required to dress as women, the whole community is affected; gender lines blur, eyebrows raise, identities explode, and life and art are forever entangled.
