“MY
ONLY ANSWER IS THAT I AM MORE OF A WOMAN THAN A MAN.” George
Jorgensen always knew he was different. In 1952, he traveled from New York to
Denmark to undergo a sex change operation. When he returned as Christine, she
was the subject of curiosity and controversy, and the most famous woman in America.
In Christine Jorgensen Reveals, acclaimed performance
artist Bradford Louryk brings his lipsynched recreation of
America’s first famous transsexual’s only recorded interview to
life. The result is a disarming and enlightening new play about personhood and
the nature of humanity in which Ms. Jorgensen – displaying extraordinary
intellect, charisma, poise, and grace – speaks candidly about her sensational
life.
This production utilizes the original recording, which has been digitally remastered
and enhanced, and features costumes designed by 2005 Ecco Domani-winning fashion
designer Mary Ping, wigs designed by Jason P. Hayes
("Party Monster," "Camp," "Garden State," Debbie
Does Dallas), and properties designed by Jung Griffin.
Christine Jorgensen Reveals will play at Dodger Stages,
340 West 50th Street, from December 28 - January 28, Thursdays thru Saturdays
at 8 PM. Tickets range from $25-$40 and may be purchased by clicking here.
