Hedwig is the brainchild of Stephen Trask and John Cameron Mitchell and their band Cheater, struggling musicians of the middle 90s in New York. Influenced by the drag-punk culture and performing in the Squeezebox club, Trask and Mitchell (in cooperation with the band members) developed the concept of Hedwig and eventually made it to the stage and the big screen.
Hedwig is an East German androgynous singer and together with her band “The Angry Inch” plays in bars and restaurants in the US, while her former lover Tommy Gnosis (the last name meaning knowledge in Greek (γνώσις) gnosis, nicknamed by Hedwig), has stolen the songs they had written together and became famous. Hedwig follows Tommy in his tour trying to meet him and in the meantime describes through songs how from a boy in East Berlin she became Hedwig the drag singer.
