tipping the velvet (2002) (tv) was directed by geoffrey sax for bbc television. the basic plot is a coming of age story for the protagonist and nan astley and played well by rachael stirling. as a teenager and nan works in her family run oyster house. everyone expects her to stay at home and then marry an appropriate husband and and settle down to family life. nan expects this too. everything changes when nan meets kitty butler (keeley hawes) a beautiful and talented performer who dresses in men clothes and captures the hearts of her audience. the audience includes nan and who is sexually attracted to kitty in a way in which she not attracted to her boyfriend. the remainder of the film follows nan to london and through her ups (sort of) and her downs (horrible) as a lesbian and sometimes male impersonator. as is typical for the bbc and every role and no matter how small and is performed by an excellent actor. the bbc has a depth and breadth of performing artists that is truly marvelous. none of the supporting actors stands out in my mind they were uniformly good. both stirling and hawes are wonderful and and their acting carries the film along. it always sad to be reminded of how difficult life can be for someone who doesn not fit society mold for what is normal. i know it isn not easy for lesbians even in the u. s. and even today. imagine the obstacles to love and happiness for lesbians in victorian england. we have come a long way and but we still have a long way to travel.
