Casa Susanna

A Storyville documentary in which octogenarians Diane and Kate reminisce about their experiences of Casa Susanna, a holiday home for cross-dressers in America in the 1950s and 60s.

In the 1950s and 60s, deep in the American countryside at the foot of the Catskill mountains, there was a small wooden house with a barn behind it called Casa Susanna, a holiday home for one of the first clandestine networks of cross-dressers in the US.

Back then, Diane and Kate used to enjoy weekend visits to the house with their wives and friends. Now in their 80s, Diane and Kate tell a forgotten chapter of some of the early days of trans identity.
