Live theater is on hold for now, but thanks to Audible’s collaboration with the Williamstown Theatre Festival, Shakina Nayfack’s play,
, which features several transgender luminaries, is available for your listening pleasure.
The play was intended for an in-person premiere before live theater was sidelined with shelter-in-place orders last March. But the collaboration with Audible offers the thoughtful, uplifting piece a platform to reach an even wider audience. In it, Nayfack (
Transparent, Difficult People) tells the story of “a vibrant, international group of transgender women [who] band together at a hotel in Thailand to confront the challenges and joys of gender confirmation surgery,” according to the Audible Originals’ synopsis.
