In her most recent show, Torr has another character who talks about infiltrating the ranks of the American Society of Men, followers of the Iron John movement. In the show her character was not discovered as a woman pretending to be a man. In fact, her character was promoted to re-instil "proper masculine values" into the American Man. Is this true, or artistic licence?"Hmmm," Torr becomes serious for a moment "I cannot comment.

But," she laughs, "Isn't all art subterfuge in one form or another?"We will never know. Unless, one day, someone in the audience happens to be part of the American Society of Men and unmasks the woman who has done the unthinkable by fooling those who invest most in masculinity.n Diane Torr is doing the Drag King Day Workshop at the Green Room Workplace, Manchester, on Saturday 11 May as part of It's Queer Up North Booking: 0161-950 5900. "We know that love/ Needs more than the admiring excitement of union/ Needs death ... our death." Hester Collyer, the heroine of Terence Rattigan's The Deep Blue Sea, would concur with these lines of Auden, and the opening reveals her intent to give love its ultimate tribute - not in any high Roman fashion, but stretched before a gas-fire in rented rooms. It is interesting to note the persistence of such settings in modern English drama.
