The Confession of Lily Dare

At the heart of the story is Lily's deep-seated love for the child she had to leave behind, driving her every action. This comic melodrama, penned and performed by Charles Busch, pays homage to the emotional "confession films" of early 1930s cinema. With a nod to classics like The Sin of Madelon Claudet and Madame X, Busch weaves a tale rich in theatrical parody, blending humor and heartfelt drama in a unique exploration of sacrifice and longing.
