This is the most correct answer. English Theater, historically, had men playing the women’s parts. There’s a long, long tradition of it. So MP dressing in drag follwed the tradition, the viewer might find it both appropriate, and humorously anachronistic, along with MP’s exaggeration of the characters makes for great humor.
