The Methuen Drama Book of Trans Plays Volume 2, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"This anthology is special: a book of trans plays about trans life as it is actually, materially lived in time and space". - Theatre Survey on Volume 1.

The Methuen Drama Book of Trans Plays Volume 2 offers eight new plays by trans playwrights centering trans characters, trans life, and gender diversity.

Curated via an open submission policy, this book brings together dramatic works that feature nuanced, authentic, and wonderfully messy representations of gender, race, and sexuality.

Alongside the full scripts, all of which are published here for the first time, this anthology series also includes a wide range of critical essays to inspire deeper understanding of the works, playwrights, and interventions these plays make in the theatrical ecology.
