Mother Clap's Molly House

I posted the following black and white photo on the Facebook group last night as a belated Throwback Thursday entry. I had heard about the play before but hadn't gotten to read up on it until earlier today. Sounds quite fascinating and I only wish I could have seen the play. The fact that Dom's character gets to wear a dress (and probably be giddy about it) can only be considered a plus.

As Wikipedia describes the show:

Mother Clap's Molly House is a play by Mark Ravenill with music by Matthew Scott. It is based on an essay in the book of the same name by Richard Norton.

The play is a black comedy and explores the diversity of human sexuality. It is based partly in the London of the 18th century, where the Molly House of Mother Clap caters to the gay subculture, and partly in 2001, where a group of wealthy gay men are preparing for a raunchy party. It was first performed in September 2001 at the National Theater's Lyttelton Theatre.                                              
Below are some photos of Dominic wearing said frock during part of the show. In case you don't feel like traipsing the internet for photos, I have included a couple below.
