"It will be raw and unvarnished. And tragic. But with laughter and gaiety. There will be love and romance. And drama. And medical examinations. And a painful death." Victorians Ernest Boulton and Richard Park were known and adored as Fanny and Stella. They dazzled in female roles on our nation's stages - and in clubs and bedrooms from London to the Highlands. Tonight - for one night only! - they present the shocking story of their own rise to fame and fall from grace. A riotous play about two young men who dared to be different, whatever the cost.
