What people are saying
‘“Hilarious, shocking, and decades ahead of its time, Tricia’s Wedding is a mini-masterpiece of political theatre that brings together guerrilla drag, performance art, the burgeoning queer aesthetic of practitioners like John Waters and Charles Ludlam, and demolishes them all in the process.”‘
David Serlin, Communication and Science Studies, Critical Gender Studies, University of California at San Diego
