Current Work
Drag King Richard III is an auto-biographical Drama that appropriates Shakespeare's text to tell a new story about a FTM transsexual and a lesbian friendship tested by one friend's transition. The Play premiered in August at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with excellent reviews from critics and audience members. |
