Classic Gender-Bending
For those of us who love a good parody of the classics, Shut Up, Sweet Charlotte! — based on the novel and camp classic film Hush… Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964) starring Bette Davis — oughta hit the mark. This Southern gothic tale tells the story of Charlotte Hollis (Ricky Graham), a young gal accused of murdering her lover. Eventually her cousin Miriam Deering, played by drag sensation Varla Jean Merman (a.k.a. Jeffery Roberson), shows up to "help" — a nice disguise for her attempt to have Charlotte committed. “If you've seen the movie you will appreciate a lot of the more subtle aspects of the show,” Robertson/Merman declared. “Oh wait! Nothing in this show is subtle.”
