Synopsis

Brilliantly innovative and oddly endearing, Hedwig and the Angry Inch―inspired by Plato’s Symposium―is the story of “internationally ignored song stylist” Hedwig Schmidt, the victim of a gruesomely botched sex-change operation, as dazzlingly recounted by Hedwig (née Hansel) herself in the form of a lounge act, backed by the rock band The Angry Inch.
