‘Maisie’
A screening
Old age can be a drag!
A moving, warm and funny film that charts an intimate portrait of ageing and friendship in the LGBTQ+ world as Maisie Trollette prepares for the performance of a lifetime to celebrate his 85th birthday.
After fifty years in the business, Mr David Raven is still shaking his sequins as ‘Maisie Trollette’, Britain’s oldest working drag artist. David’s 85th is fast approaching, and an exceptional birthday performance has been arranged in the UK’s capital of camp, Brighton.
At 87, Walter Cole is The Guinness Book Of Records Oldest Performing Drag Queen in the World and he is flying over from Portland, USA to meet David for the very first time.
Featuring drag legends Miss Jason and Dave Lynn and the Broadway classics ‘One’, ‘Lady is a Tramp’ and ‘If I Never Sing Another Song’, MAISIE is a heart-warming and sometimes heart-breaking peek into the world of a character more colourful than his gowns.
Followed by a Q&A with the producer and Miss Jason
