Details

Summary
Based on over seventy interviews conducted around the world by playwright Paul Lucas, Trans Scripts, Part I: The Women is a compelling exploration of the lives of trans women, as told in their own words. These unique and compelling stories are honest, funny, moving, insightful, and inspiring, but most of all, they are human, shedding light not on our differences but on what we all, as humans, share. 
Cast Attributes

Best efforts must always be exercised to cast trans or gender-nonconforming actors (and non-actors). Trans individuals should also be encouraged to become involved with the production in additional ways, including in a consulting capacity. Attention must also be given to the faithful representation of the other aspects (particularly ethnicity and sexual orientation) of each role.

  • Time Period Contemporary
