Shakespeare Characters Breaking Their Script

In this play, transgender characters from classic Shakespearean works realize they are trapped in a performance. They begin to actively challenge their roles and attempt to escape the confines of their stories.

Written by Abigail Thorn, the play cleverly reimagines familiar tropes from the Bard's world through a modern queer lens. The characters discover their existence is dictated by a script and decide to rebel against their predetermined destinies. It is a bold blend of literary history and experimental theater that explores themes of identity and autonomy. By pulling these figures out of their traditional narratives, the play forces us to look at classic literature in an entirely new way.
