Georgiana's closet

by Dale Gunthorp

Not yet rated

Georgiana, an ageing actress has lived a colourful life - acting with the famous, mingling with the not so famous and sleeping with everyone (male as well as female). She now lives an impoverished but still elegant life in a tiny flat chosen for its full- length stunning windows. The highlight of her social calendar is her monthly soiree held for her colourful, highly camp, gay circle of friends. Reflected in her glorious windows are: Ulric, who loves opera but teaches choirs, Midge, a mild alcoholic but a sweet lover (as they have all experienced), fussy, womanly Steven-John who was Sheila before his sex-change, beautiful Fiona and her photographer 'wife' Lorraine, Chelsey, a fiery middle-aged actress still waiting for her moment of glory, Sir Toby of some foreign office and some hangers-on. The composition of their party is severely and serenely controlled by Georgiana and never varies, until one day Lorraine brings along Lucy... a plain faced, hungry, blunt and extremely manipulative young lesbian. She has a lethal effect on their pretentiously self-indulgent, narcissistic world...
