Charles Busch on Performing in Drag.
Playwright, female impersonator, and now novelist Charles Busch. His play, the camp classic, "Vampire Lesbians of Sodom," was the longest-running play in Off-Broadway history. His other plays include, "Psycho Beach Party," and "Red Scare on Sunset." His latest show parodies the variety shows of the 60s, "The Charles Busch Revue," in which he makes seven costume changes in an hour and 15 minutes. Busch's first novel, "Whores of Lost Atlantis," (Hyperion) came out in November. (Rebroadcast from 7/29/93) Busch can now be seen in the film, "Addams Family Values," playing Morticia's Countess cousin.
