 From 1969 to 1972, the Cockettes were San Francisco s gender-bending, LSD-fueled, on-stage party. In the late 1990s, Cockettes and friends tell the story, illustrated by archival footage: the impromptu spirit of Hibiscus, colorful sets and costumes, the move toward scripts and rehearsals, a few films, Rex Reed s delirious review that got them a ragged gig in New York - where exuberant West met enervated East, and the end. Highlights include visits from Divine, the arrival of Sylvester - who could really sing, Hibiscus s departure to form the Angels of Light, "Tricia Nixon s Wedding," and the joy of the group s survivors even as they mourn friends who died from drugs or AIDS.
