SummaryRenato and Albin--a middle-aged gay couple who are the manager and star performer at a glitzy drag club in Saint-Tropez--agree to hide their sexual identities, along with their flamboyant personalities, when the ultraconservative parents of Renato's son's fiancee come for a visit. A French farce about the importance of nonconformity and being true to oneself that inspired the major Broadway musical and the movie remake The Birdcage.DurationPT96MOrigin Date(s)1978 Authorized Access PointLa cage aux folles
