New Suit Theatre Presents Trans Form
http://gapersblock.com/ac/2010/11/09/new-suit-theatre-presents-trans-form/Trans Form is a brave and honest expression of what it means to be a transgender individual. The one-woman show, written and performed by Rebecca Kling and presented by New Suit Theatre, explores the confusing reality of living in a body that feels all wrong, and the frustration of living in a world that perpetually fails to understand.
Kling opens her performance as a young boy, bouncing off the walls of his bedroom in the midst of a shoot-'em-up make-believe game. With a boyish wardrobe and hair pulled back into a tight bun, Kling explores her early life, slowing exposing to the audience how terribly unhappy she was. Puberty was the tipping point of Kling's depression and identity crisis, and leads to some confusing therapy sessions, several suicide attempts, and eventually coming out to her parents and deciding to transition.
