"I feel like I've become an old man before I've had the chance to become a young one."
Meet Archie, a 17 year old non-binary person searching for some kind of community on Youtube. With a hysterical mother and a monotonous father, they attempt to navigate their gender identity online. And as their parents' relationship becomes more fraught, Archie thinks they see some light at the end of the tunnel.
A new play by Jessy Parker Humphreys which explores a frequently ignored trans narrative, and significantly uses trans actors to represent trans characters. Funny, moving and there is even a lip sync routine - what more could you want?
