The Methuen Drama Book of Trans Plays Volume 3, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Playwrights in Volume 3 agree: "These are the plays we wish we had."

The third volume in the Methuen Drama Book of Trans Plays series offers nine new plays by trans playwrights featuring trans characters. This volume focuses on young characters whose ages range from twelve to late twenties.

Following the critical and commercial success of the first two volumes, this edited collection supports the expanding landscape of contemporary American trans theatre, which represents a variety of performance modes and genres.

These plays address themes such as coming of age, parents and family (found and biological), athletics, dating, and navigating hostile political and social terrains. This third volume also includes short introductory essays that accompany each of the plays to support a deeper understanding of the work.
