TIPPING THE VELVET, is a daring, colorful, passionate and
entertaining love story set in the 1890s. It follows the
story of Nan Astley (Rachael Stirling), as she grows into
womanhood - a heroine as appealing and charismatic as Elizabeth
Bennett in Pride and Prejudice. Confused and unsure of
her feelings for her boyfriend, she slowly comes to realize
she is attracted to women - which leads her into series
of adventures. The exciting world of the 19th century music
hall provides the backdrop for Nan's first love affair
with Kitty (Keeley Hawes), a popular male impersonator.
They become a double act, both on and off stage.
Dir. Geoffrey Sax
