Bangkok – Producer Takonkiet Viravan has come up with a Thai version of that very camp French movie “La Cage Aux Folles”.

Starting 18 April, there will be evening shows daily of “Kinaree See Rung” at 7.30pm, plus weekend matinees at 2pm at the Muang Thai Rachadalai Theatre, on the 4th floor of The Esplanade at Rachadapisek Road in Bangkok. Last performance will be on 27 June.

In the leading roles as Issy is Ruangsak ‘James’ Loychusak (in his first such gay/katoey role), while Songsit ‘Kob’ Roongnophakunsri plays the part of his partner Georges.

Issy and George own a very successful drag night club and lead a very ‘out’ and camp lifestyle, but are presented with a major problem when Georges’ son gets engaged to the daughter of an ultra conservative politician, and the two partners have to learn to act like straight men to support Georges’ son. The outcome is hilarous and takes several twists on the way.

“La Cage Aux Folles” was later made into a Hollywood film, and a musical called “The Birdcage”.

Ticket for the Thai language “Kinaree See Rung” cost 500, 1,000, 1,500, 1,800, 2,300 and 2,800 baht and available at Thaiticketmajor booths. Call 02-262-3456 or visit http://www.thaiticket major.com
