Synopsis
In this gossamer-laced reality there is never a moment to be without your face, to not be together.
One false move and you'll get chopped.
One night can leave you legendary or a subsidiary
Enter the House of Light, a hyper-glamorous, uber-competitive drag queen refuge where a daughter who was once a son can find a family.
While the House are primping and preening for a catwalk showdown, drag queen Nina is wooing the delectable Eric as Wilson.
How can Nina/Wilson strut the thorny divide between opposite genders and differing worlds?
Wig Out!
premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in November 2008.'An astonishing young dramatist.' New York Times
