Wearing The Trousers: the true story of Vesta Tilley’ plots the life of one of the most successful cross-dressing music hall stars that most of the world has never heard of. Using original music and songs from Vesta Tilley’s playbook and some reworked pieces, the story leads us from her dotage in Monaco back to her theatre debut aged five, to the extraordinary People’s Tribute book, presented to her by Ellen Terry and signed by admirers Charlie Chaplin, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Harry Houdini and two million members of the public, to celebrate her career and retirement from the stage. Seizing The Day is a Bristol theatre company that gives a voice and opportunities to mature professional performers.
