Gay-themed theatre is a rare beast, but drama based around the experience of transsexuals is even more exceptional. This fortnight, The Luvvies, Scotland's LGBT community theatre company, are set to bring a play about the early years of a male-to-female transsexual to the Edinburgh stage.
Painted Eggs, written by and starring Nicole Dolder, originally started life as a musical about a transsexual (John/Joan) and the effect she has on the people around her. Shortly after joining The Luvvies (to play the part of Mrs Madrigal in Tales of the City), Dolder realised the various set pieces she had planned would work well as an original and powerful play.
