The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta

This is not about being ready, it’s not even about being fierce, or fearless, IT’S ABOUT BEING FREE.

Michael waits in the stage wings, wearing a pink wig, pink fluffy coat and black heels. 

One more step will see him illuminated by spotlight. 

He has been on a journey of bravery to get here, and he is almost ready to show himself to the world in bold colours … 

Can he emerge as The Black Flamingo?
