MAN WEEK: Donna Freed with Geoff Deane, author of From Mohair Suits to Kinky Boots Radio Gorgeous
-
- Society & Culture
Geoff Deane is most recently known as the screenwriter of Kinky Boots, but his career swerves have encompassed founding the punk band Leyton Buzzards and salsa band Modern Romance. He has been a writer and producer for television, a journalist, restaurant critic and songwriter but it is his observations and appreciation for the joyful cast of characters he has met along the way that colours From Mohair Suits to Kinky Boots: How Music, Clothes and Going Out Shaped My Life and Upset My Mother.
A master raconteur, Geoff's tales of his Hackney origins to Hollywood hijinks are littered with Cockney rhyming slang, Yiddish and Polari.
