Critics Review

Precisely what my students and I had hoped for. With these eight plays, each accompanied by an intelligent introduction, the collection highlights how trans writers play with time in order to shed light on—and undermine—the strictures of white Western heteronormativity. * Cincinnati Review (on Volume 1) *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) *Delivers an intersectional and diverse collection of trans plays, and self-reflexively advocates for the need to amplify trans voices. Both the openness and absences in this collection hold exactly to that provocation: the trans community has more to say, and their voices require more stages on which to be heard. * Platform Journal of Theatre and Performing Arts (on Volume 1) *
