Tripping with ‘Men in Heels’

Tripping with ‘Men in Heels’

Find out why a local playwright, Mark Beau De Silva, decided, at least on the surface of things, to pen a Malaysian version of  ‘Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’.  Is the story of the struggling artist, regardless of national boundaries, the same, except for personal details? We also find out from the all-male cast and the director why men in drag--like ‘Men in Tutus’--make for comedy, but women dressed as men are somewhat closer to the mundane.
