Like many a love story before and after it, the French play La Cage Aux Folles derives its plot from a meet the (conservative) parents scenario only this time, its not the suitor whose lifestyle is a problem; its the suitors father. The father, Renato, manages a drag club and is dating one of the male performers to boot. So, when the two families get together for dinner, truth isnt exactly the main course. If youre suddenly reminded of Robin Williams, its because his 1996 movie Birdcage is a remake of the story. Or you just like hairy arms.
