In 1987 Neil Bartlett used the London International Festival of Theatre’s decision to bring drag performer Ethyl Eichelberger to the ICA as a motive to visit her in New York and talk to her. Then he came back to London and repeated the questions he’d put to Ethyl to Lily Savage, queen of the London drag scene.
