The seventeenth winner of the Yale Drama Prize, a deeply personal celebration of trans identity and the magic it takes to define yourself in our world
After one night together in the desert, Grace uproots their life to chase after Brahm, a person who is slowly becoming a cactus. Not known for having a green thumb, Grace tends to Brahm and the seeds of their own doubt. Can the desert be a place for love to grow, or are they both just waiting for rain? This deeply personal play aims to provide nourishment to those hiding in the shadows and create a space of recognition and magic for all.
Of this year’s prizewinning play, Yale Drama Prize judge and award-winning playwright Jeremy O. Harris says, “In this time of immense political and social upheaval when it feels as though hopelessness is a cloud that hangs heavy over all our interactions, this dry spell hit me like a cleansing rain.”
