| Description: |
In this play by
Emmy-nominated
writer Jeffrey
Solomon, a
transgendered
woman flees
Guyana for asylum
in the United
States, only to end
up in a
government
detention center,
facing an uphill
battle to prove her
claims of
persecution. The
play is one of the
first ever to deal
with the subject of
political asylum for
gay, lesbian, bi
and transgendered
refugees, a remedy
that has been
available in the
United States only
since 1994, and
was inspired by
dozens of
interviews with
sexual minority
asylum seekers
from around the
world conducted in
New York,
Washington, D.C.,
and San
Francisco. A post-
performance
discussion will
follow. |
