About this listen

We’re in 1730s London with gentleman’s servant and OG drag queen John Cooper, also known as Princess Seraphina. Rictor Norton introduces Seraphina on his website as quote “the first recognizable drag queen in English history, that is the first gay man for whom dragging it up was an integral part of his identity”.
