Lois and Peggy
Synopsis
Through behind-the-scenes footage, exclusive interviews, and a deep dive into their most influential performances, we uncover how Split Britches have transformed discussions around gender, identity, and the role of performance in political activism. Throughout this journey we also uncover the real love story behind their life’s work - a universal tale of support, trial and tribulation.
Shot on location in both Upstate New York and New York City LOIS AND PEGGY reveals the essential domestic side of this iconic performance duo and lays bare the complexities of two artists juggling their work and their relationship simultaneously. Showcasing the depth, complexity, and universality of love, this documentary makes a valuable contribution to the cultural and historical legacy of LGBTQ+ communities - capturing and preserving the experiences of love and relationships within a context that has often been marginalized or erased from history.
