 Executive transvestite Eddie Izzard takes his show to San Francisco to give a brief history of pagan and Christian religions, the building of Stonehenge, the birth of the Church of England and of Western empires, and the need for a European dream. Along the way, he dramatizes Dr. Heimlich s search for a maneuver, the naming of Engelbert Humperdinck, Scooby and Shaggy as archetypes, Neil Armstrong on the moon, society s tolerance of mass murderers, how we sing anthems and carols, Hollywood adapting British films, JFK s trip to Berlin, thoughts on puberty, and working school-book-French phrases into Paris conversation. Close-ups catch the glint in his eye and show his carefully-applied make-up.
