The Drag Kings are coming back with a clamour in Wellington, with a provocative show entitled Res-Erection. The seven core members of the troupe will make their return at Fringe Bar late next month, after a five year hiatus. The Drag Kings formed in 2001 and have performed shows in numerous Wellington theatres and at Melbourne’s Midsummer Festival. Their philosophy is to “celebrate the silly and sublime” and to perform certain stage numbers just for the sheer joy of it. The team says Res-Erection is “loaded with send-ups, piss-takes, interpretations and observations that draw on our straight and queer world”. The show will include lip-synching, live singing, dance, comedy sketch and music. Res-Erection is at Fringe Bar in Wellington on 28, 29 and 30 May, with tickets on sale here.
