WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The one and only Charles Busch plays the role of Gertrude Garnet in The Lady in Question, a free-wheeling satire of 1940s thrillers. The suspenseful tale begins as Garnet, a glamorous diva and self-obsessed concert pianist on tour in the heart of Bavaria, finds her colossal ego challenged when a handsome American professor engages her aid in rescuing his mother from a Nazi prison. In addition to performing, Busch also is the show's writer. Christopher Ashley directs.
There will be a special late evening viewing of the documentary The Lady In Question Is Charles Busch followed by a question and answer talkback with Charles Busch and Julie Halston on September 1 at 11 pm. Cost is $25; general admission.

At the curtain call for a recent performance of the Bay Street Theatre's revival of Charles Busch's
The Lady in Question, the star/author -- still sporting Dona Granata's thigh-slapping version of a 1940s woman's skiing outfit and an equally rib-tickling Katherine Carr wig -- told the audience that he and his co-stars were still "ironing in the kinks." Well, it's possible that a hiked kink factor could make this Lady even more amusing, but any enhancement will only be icing on what's already a sumptuous pineapple-upside-down comedy cake served up by a pitch-perfect and picture-perfect cast.
