In DARK BLUE: gromones

i now fully understand what the JAPANESE MA students were pointing out in relation to NO THEATRE and the little boy who dresses up as a girl and dances upon the table for the elders, in DEREK JARMAN's film...in relation to the PRINCE who dresses up as a woman and dances at the enemy court to overthrow the king...

At SOLIHULL SCHOOL - GILL invariably took the female roles in any given play...and he didn't mind...he rather liked playing them...in one play, he had to do three female parts because nobody else would play the 'girls'...the lead female role, a secondary one and a walk-on, no-speaking part as the servant...the CIA LAB viewed it all...yes, GILL was a great hit as a woman...particularly the EAST END accent (which he used to 'forget' to modify according to the part he was playing, now and then)...hoots of laughter followed his third entrance on stage as the servant in a bonnet (what a quick change artist)...
