{"product_id":"the-changing-room-laurence-senelick-9780415159869","title":"The Changing Room: Sex, Drag and Theatre","description":"The answers to these questions - and much, much more - are to be found in The Changing Room, which traces the origins and variations of theatrical cross-dressing through the ages and across cultures. It examines: * tribal rituals and shamanic practices in the Balkans and Chinese-Tibet * the gender-bending elements of Greek and early Christian religion * the homosexual appeal of the boy actor on the traditional stage of China, Japan and England * the origins of the dame comedian, the principal boy, the glamour drag artiste and the male impersonator * artists such as David Bowie, Boy George, Charles Ludlam, Dame Edna Everage, Lily Savage, Candy Darling, Julian Clary and the New York Dolls. Lavishly illustrated with unusual and rare pictures, this is the first ever cross-cultural study of theatrical transvestism. It is a must for anyone interested in cross-dressing, theatre, and gender.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurence Senelick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415159865\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415159869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.49w x 1.22d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2000 pg. 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/09\/2000","brand":"Laurence Senelick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46795467555071,"sku":"9780415159869","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_939fd5a4-a285-4887-8c1a-fd458cca8d5f.jpg?v=1744947695","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-changing-room-laurence-senelick-9780415159869","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
