A pre-Manchester Pride screening of the docu-film 'Maisie' takes place at The Cockatoo Club on Wednesday 23rd August. An intimate portrait of ageing and friendship as Maisie Trollette, Britain’s Oldest Performing Drag Artiste, prepares for his 85th birthday celebrations and navigates the challenges of a recent diagnosis.
After fifty long years in the business, Mr. David Raven is still shaking his sequins as ‘Maisie Trollette’, Britain’s oldest working drag artist.
David’s 85th is fast approaching and a special birthday performance has been arranged in the UK’s capital of camp, Brighton. Walter Cole (88), The Guinness Book Of Records Oldest Performing Drag Queen, is flying over from Portland, USA to meet David for the very first time.
Featuring fellow drag legends Miss Jason and Dave Lynn, and the Broadway classics ‘One’, ‘Lady is a Tramp’ and ‘If I Never Sing Another Song’, MAISIE is a heart-warming and sometimes heart-breaking peek into the world of a character more colourful than his gowns.
The Screening will be followed by a live Q&A with some of those involved in the film, and a performance from drag superstar Lola Lasagne!
