Tipping the Velvet

Nan Astley's journey to stardom and happiness in 1887 Victorian England is marked by her romantic entanglements with three different women.

Tipping the Velvet is a dramatization of Sarah Waters' debut novel, following Nancy Astley, a young girl who works at her father's seaside restaurant. Her life takes a dramatic turn when she witnesses the performance of a male impersonator, Kitty Butler, and becomes swept up in a whirlwind romance.
