Charles Busch

Published by Samuel French Inc

4 Male 2 Female

Gorgeous costumes and an ornate setting embellish this robust tale of a lonely Garboesque queen who dresses as a man, a duplicitous courtier who loves the boy in the woman, a conniving countess bent on stealing the throne and the foppish royal cousin she marries to secure her ends

Amarantha, constantly torn between love and duty, renounces her thrown for love and her lover to reclaim her throne. The author starred in the title role in the New York production of this cross dressing classic about sexual ambiguity

"Covers all bases from The Prisoner of Zenda to Richard III to Mary Stuart" ~ N.Y. Post
