Maisie
Synopsis
After fifty years in the business, Mr. David Raven still performs as ‘Maisie Trollette’, Britain’s Oldest Drag Artiste.
David’s 85th is fast approaching and a special birthday performance has been arranged. At 87, Walter Cole is The Guinness Book Of Records Oldest Performing Drag Queen in the World and he is flying over from America to meet David for the first time. But professional rivalries soon flare, and as his birthday grows nearer, David must deal with the unique challenges that old age brings. He has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, but ever the professional, 'Maisie’ gives the performance of a lifetime as she looks back on half-a-century of entertaining.
Featuring classics such as 'Lady is a Tramp’ and 'If I Never Sing Another Song', MAISIE is a heart-warming and often heart-breaking peek into the world of a character more colourful than his gowns.
