AN AUDIENCE WITH GORGEOUS GEORGE!
(The Wrestling Sensation Who Changed a Nation)
A One Man Bio-Play
By Alex Brockie
“I was a star when we still had stars… Not like today where anybody with a torch got themselves a spotlight!” (GG)
Meet Gorgeous George (1915-1963); the first star of American television and the prototype of the modern celebrity... he was also a wrestler. George’s gender-bending persona and outrageous behaviour shocked conservative post-war America and thrust ‘camp’ into the forefront of popular culture.
This play - which is set for a run at the Edinburgh Fringe 2015 - serves as a tribute to the forgotten star in what would have been the year of his 100th birthday.
The premiere of An Audience with Gorgeous George will be in Birmingham on Saturday 25th July (7pm) at the Blue Orange Theatre – as part of Birmingham Fest 2015.
