- Summary:
-
"Since I've been in Sydney since the early 1970s, there's always been a drag scene. The most popular place was Capriccio's in Oxford Street. There were two floors, a bar on the first and a theatre with tables and chairs and a stage upstairs. It was always busy. They did extravagant shows: big casts, gorgeous costumes and handsome men to accompany the queens." -- William Yang.
