No, Alice, I don’t want to become a man, I just want to stop trying to be a woman.’

Alice wants to come out as a le***an. Her girlfriend wants to start living as a man.

It's New Year in Rotterdam, and Alice has finally plucked up the courage to email her parents and tell them she's gay. But before she can hit send, her girlfriend reveals that he has always identified as a man and now wants to start living as one.

Now Alice must face a question she never thought she'd ask... does this mean she's straight?

A bittersweet comedy about gender, sexuality and being a long way from home from writer Jon Brittain, co-creator of Margaret Thatcher Queen of Soho, and writer of What Would Spock Do? and The Sexual Awakening of Peter Mayo.

“Smartly observed and very funny… warm and emotionally intelligent”
★★★★ Evening Standard

“Brittain’s play is another reminder - warm, witty and wise - of the stupidity of thinking that there are only two genders”
★★★★ Time Out

"A very human play, one that never feels overtly issue-driven or forced... properly laugh-out-loud funny"
★★★★ The Stage

The original cast - Anna Martine, Alice McCarthy, Ed Eales-White and Jessica Clark - will all be back reprising their roles in 2016, alongside the entire original creative team.

Rotterdam opens 26th July, press night 28th, and runs till 27th August, performing in Trafalgar Studio 2.

Spread the word far and wide!

We were too awestruck to take pictures during the rehearsal of Diego Y Ulises beautiful performance. Here is just a snippet of their amazing work coming with us to Edinburgh.

"This Argentinean Dance troupe bring their debut, self–titled piece to the Latitude Festival as part of the unique PEEP venue. Everyday actions take on a profound poignancy in Diego y Ulises. Two men wait for the day to go by. The laugh. They fight. They drink Coca Cola. Imperceptibly the mundane becomes significant as the relationship between them strengthens and changes through stages of both friendship and love and explores what it means to be two men with such a deep bond." - Latitude 2013
