Becky wants to be famous. Becky deserves to be famous. Becky has to be famous.
When drag artist Becky Biro is told they need a larger following to be considered for international TV hit ‘The Drag Factor’, Becky can smell success. She will do whatever it takes to get there, then reap the rewards of her inevitable stardom. Well that's the plan, at least. What could possibly go wrong?
From the writer of the multi-award winning Velvet comes an outrageous, fast-paced dark comedy, laced with irreverent humour and cabaret songs. Fame Whore holds a mirror up to our desperate desire for relevance, the lengths we may go to get there, and how we, as a community, hold someone to account for their misguided actions.
