Based on the 1973 French play of the same name by Jean Poiret, it focuses on a gay couple: Georges, the manager of a Saint-Tropez nightclub featuring drag entertainment, and Albin, his romantic partner and star attraction, and the farcical adventures that ensue when Georges’s son, Jean-Michel, brings home his fianc?e’s ultra-conservative parents to meet them. La Cage aux Folles literally means “The Birdcage or the cage of mad women”. However folles is also a slang term for effeminate homosexuals (drag queens).
