Description
This is a stomping, farcical music comedy about a very ugly fact. Five drag queens and one ex-drag queen stage a pretentious, undercover cabaret in Trinidad at Carnival time. The night augurs well but egos, feathers and a head-shock of glitter soon lead to a series of irretrievable catastrophes.
All that in a land where drag is not always tolerated. Will they make it through to the finale or will the riot police get there first? High Heel Parrotfish! shows life as it happens both on and back stage. High Heel Parrotfish! also takes an irreverent journey into the macho world of calypso and turns it around to mean something quite different.
