Queer Acts Theatre Festival: The (sad) Ballad of Oliver Hugh & Company
When: July 20-23, 10 p.m.-12 a.m. 2010
This story of obsession and love fluctuates between fantasy and reality while exploring the key facet of drag performance and theatricality. Written and performed by Stephen Bourque and notable Halifax drag-king Steph McNair, The (sad) Ballad of Oliver Hugh & Company is a drag-inspired show that draws upon the artists' backgrounds in circus, burlesque, performance, visual art and theatre.
