Bold, beautiful, funny, humbling, heart-warming, hilarious, magnificent, brave; if Kate O’Donell’s journey into womanhood doesn’t have you moved in one way or another your heart needs the kind of jumpstart even this kick-ass broad couldn’t dish out. Wearing her heart on her superlative surpassingly stylish sleeve, Kate takes us on a journey through being born into boy’s body but growing into a girl during the ‘heydey’ of the 1970’s when, “To be fair, crispy pancakes had only just landed in the Midlands so she had her work cut out.” A shining light of the transgender movement, Kate O’Donnell’s work as a writer, actress, performer, activist and alongside trans charities is generally making the world a slightly warmer and defiantly prettier place. Big Girl’s Blouse uses humour, music and costume to tell her story. This last minute addition to the UK tour is a rare opportunity to see Kate in her ‘homeland’ where this inspirational tale takes off – don’t miss out.
