Busted

Chicago meets TransAmerica in Busted, actress Bianca Leigh’s recounting of the
events surrounding her arrest for alleged solicitation against the backdrop of the
“Black Monday” stock market crash of 1987. While cooling her 6-inch heels in the
clink awaiting arraignment, Bianca looks back at her past and tries to make sense of
how a skinny Jersey boy with dreams of becoming a great Shakespearean actress ended
up as a high-priced dominatrix. In a tour-de-force performance both hilarious and
moving, Bianca revisits her past as a young transwoman in early transition and
brings to vivid life more than a dozen characters — from her disappointed mother to
the sadistic corrections officer who enacts the ultimate humiliation.
