The Methuen Drama Book of Trans Plays
Volume 3

The Methuen Drama Book of Trans Plays Volume 3

Young Adult Edition

Five female playwrights offer short but intense experiences of the lives of Afghan girls and women in the brief, perilous years before the Taliban retook Kabul.

Five Plays and the Stories that Inspired Them

Voices of Women from Afghanistan

"This anthology is special: a book of trans plays about trans life as it is actually, materially lived in time and space". - Anthony Sansonetti in Theatre Survey on Volume 1. The Methuen Drama Book of Trans Plays Volume 2 offers eight new plays by trans playwrights centering trans characters, trans life, and gender diversity. Curated via an open submission policy, this book brings together dramatic works that feature nuanced, authentic, and wonderfully messy representations of gender, race, and sexuality. Alongside the full scripts, all of which are published here for the first time, this anthology series also includes a wide range of critical essays to inspire deeper understanding of the works, playwrights, and interventions these plays make in the theatrical ecology. Cercle Hermaphroditos by Shualee Cook Red Rainbow by Azure D. Osborne-Lee Degenerates by Else Went Close to Home by Sharifa Yazmeen The Bugs by Sloka Krishnan The Skin of Other Men by Fig Lefevre Oh, Buddy by Hal Cosentino Gender Play, or what you Will co-created by Will Wilhelm and Erin Murray Edited by Leanna Keyes, Lindsey Mantoan and Angela Farr Schiller, the plays and companion essays in this anthology explicitly call for expansive approaches to trans characters, themes, and aesthetics in order to promote opportunities for trans artists, making this an original and necessary publication for both practical use and academic study.

The Methuen Drama Book of Trans Plays Volume 2

Based at Shepherd University, in West Virginia, the Contemporary American Theater Festival is nationally and internationally recognized as a home for playwrights and the development and production of new plays. The Festival makes it a priority to celebrate and produce playwrights with strong, distinct voices, with a core value to tell diverse stories.

This anthology of work provides plays that speak to one of the most compelling virtues of artists everywhere - freedom of speech. A necessary volume of women playwrights' work, ranging from a two-time Obie Award-winning author to emerging writers just beginning their careers, it represents a group of women who vary in age, race and sexual orientation and offers an invitation to artistic leaders, scholars and students to embrace gritty, thought-provoking new dramatic work.

Edited by The Festival's Producing Directors Peggy McKowen and Ed Herendeen, this anthology features an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage. Each of the five powerful plays is followed by an informative and discursive playwright interview conducted by Sharon J. Anderson that contextualizes and develops the works within the wider context of the annual festival.

The plays include: 
Gidion's Knot by Johnna Adams 
The Niceties by Eleanor Burgess 
Memoirs of a Forgotten Man by D.W Gregory
Dead and Breathing by Chisa Hutchinson 
20th Century Blues by Susan Miller

Plays by Women from the Contemporary American Theater Festival

A whimsical queer romance about two mismatched roommates whose fragile—and definitely not romantic at all—balance is upended by an impending family wedding and an otherworldly danger in the nearby enchanted wood. There are at least 100 things wrong with Meredith Schwarzwelder. In fact, keeping track of these things is the only way David Carew has managed to remain living with him for as long as he has. Meredith is an irredeemable eccentric who flirts with everyone in his path (#3 on the list), cries at anything (#35), makes the worst coffee in the world (#70), and talks to mice, or imagines he does (#50). It’s bad enough living with such a person on the edge of the Midnight Wood, but when magic starts to seep from the wood and a dark being emerges with a sinister plan involving Meredith, David decides that it’s time to leave the cottage, and his roommate, behind. Then Meredith’s brother gets engaged to the daughter of David’s boss, and David sees an opportunity: If he can insert himself into the festivities, maybe he can advance his career and get himself out of a personal rut. With wedding bells sounding and the dangers of the Midnight Wood encroaching, David realizes there’s much more hiding beneath the surface of his roommate’s seemingly carefree charm, and that perhaps his own exasperation carries more fondness than he’d like to admit. Cozy, sharp, steamy, and poignant, Into the Midnight Wood is a contemporary queer fairy tale about the masks we wear, the stories we tell, and the powerful need for true, honest connection to heal old wounds and new.

A Novel

Into the Midnight Wood

From Ignatz-nominated cartoonist Richard Mercado comes a refreshingly honest and moving YA graphic novel perfect for fans of queer coming-of-age stories like Heartstopper.When Kevin's parents ignore his attempts to come out of the closet, he devises a plan to become more like Raymond, the popular gay kid at his high school. After all, if Kevin can do everything perfectly too, then people will have to pay attention to him.But life under Raymond's wing isn't easy: a dress code, new things Kevin can and can't do, and even abandoning his old "uncool" friends. Perfection comes at a cost, and Kevin must decide whether it's worth the sacrifice.

Coming Out Perfect #1: A Graphic Novel

Two high school rivals begrudgingly reunite as adults to investigate the disappearance of their beloved former teacher, only to wind up traveling through a series of alternate realities together. Total opposites, Marlowe Jenkins and Priscilla Covington-French hated each other in high school. Now in their thirties, Marlowe is barely scraping by while Priscilla is wildly successful. Their rivalry should be long dead, yet both women remain connected through their mutual mentor, drama teacher Dallas Winthrop. Their unending tension has nothing to do with the fact that they’ve kissed. More than once. When Dallas goes missing, each woman believes she can figure out where he is. Except this is no ordinary disappearance. Dallas has found a way to explore alternate versions of reality. While trying to follow him, Marlowe and Priscilla find other versions of themselves instead, surprised to learn not all Marlowes and Priscillas are fueled by hate. In fact, some Marlowes and Priscillas have very different strong feelings for one another. . . The more Marlowe and Priscilla are forced to rely on each other, the harder it becomes to ignore their simmering attraction. But with every alternate reality they search, they only get further from their real life and responsibilities. Do they play it safe and hide behind their rivalry, or take a chance on each other that could permanently change the world as they know it?

Just Between Us: A Graphic Novel

“An excellent history of the queer world’s countless music scenes.” —Emma Alpern, Vulture “An essential book for this moment.” —Rob Sheffield The definitive history of LGBTQ music, from Stonewall to RuPaul, and its impact on culture and American life From the underground dancefloors of the Seventies to the global charts of the Nineties, LGBTQ artists and audiences shaped music’s sound, style, and spirit. In Mighty Real, veteran journalist Barry Walters chronicles its LGBTQ history from the Velvet Underground to the 21st century’s dawn as he honors the artists who redefined gender, defied tradition, and dared to challenge sexual norms with the help of a record business that wasn’t as straight as commonly believed. Drawing on his decades as a New York- and San Francisco-based music critic, Walters examines how LGBTQ musicians, music industry executives, and fans reshaped the mainstream. He connects the dots between David Bowie’s dazzling reinventions, Grace Jones’s androgynous glamor, Prince’s boundary-shattering sexuality, and the radical candor of the Indigo Girls to prove they’re all doing the same thing: fighting oppression. With exuberance, insight, and encyclopedic knowledge, Walters brings to life the songs and society that filled dancefloors, bedrooms, and streets as he uncovers yesteryear’s coded LGBTQ messages that paved the way for today’s unabashedly queer hits. Mighty Real is a masterful love letter to the music that liberated generations, and it’s written in a page-turning, personal way that blurs distinctions between chronicle and memoir. This is the rare and revolutionary music history told to help you laugh, cry, and then rally against lingering inequality.

Necessary Fiction

"A love story spanning multiple millenniums, life-forms and variations on immortality, the book posits Victorian poetry as a weapon of empire, insists on nature's resilience in the face of genocide, and manipulates prose into something like a new language....Toward Eternity recognizes both the building and burning of bridges." -New York Times*A PARADE, LITHUB, and CHICAGO REVIEW OF BOOKS Best New Book. *An AUDIOFILE EARPHONES AWARD WINNER.Negotiating the terrain of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun and Emily St. John Mandel’s Sea of Tranquility, a brilliant, haunting speculative novel from a #1 New York Times bestselling translator that sets out to answer the question: What does it mean to be human in a world where technology is quickly catching up to biology?In a near-future world, a new technological therapy is quickly eradicating cancer. The body’s cells are entirely replaced with nanites—robot or android cells which not only cure those afflicted but leaves them virtually immortal.Literary researcher Yonghun teaches an AI how to understand poetry and creates a living, thinking machine he names Panit, meaning Beloved, in honor of his husband. When Yonghun—himself a recipient of nanotherapy—mysteriously vanishes into thin air and then just as suddenly reappears, the event raises disturbing questions. What happened to Yonghun, and though he’s returned, is he really himself anymore?When Dr. Beeko, the scientist who holds the patent to the nanotherapy technology, learns of Panit, he transfers its consciousness from the machine into an android body, giving it freedom and life. As Yonghun, Panit, and other nano humans thrive—and begin to replicate—their development will lead them to a crossroads and a choice with existential consequences.Exploring the nature of intelligence and the unexpected consequences of progress, the meaning of personhood and life, and what we really have to fear from technology and the future, Toward Eternity is a gorgeous, thought-provoking novel&nbsp;that challenges the notion of what makes us human—and how love&nbsp;survives even the end of that humanity.

Drama Panorama

Mit seinem Romanzyklus 
 Das magische Labyrinth
 wurde Max Aub zu einem der großen Chronist*innen der Traumata des 20. Jahrhunderts und einem der wichtigsten spanischsprachigen Autor*innen dieser Zeit. Weniger bekannt sind seine Theaterstücke, von denen der 1939 geschriebene Monolog 
 Ich will keinen Trost von niemandem
 (im Original: 
 De algún tiempo a esta parte
 ) nun von Stefanie Gerhold übersetzt erstmalig auf Deutsch vorliegt.
 In ihm erklingt die Stimme von Emma, einer Katholikin aus Wien mit jüdischer Herkunft. Doch gleichzeitig hat diese Stimme keinen Ort. 1938, nach dem "Anschluss" Österreichs, zwischen Reichspogromnacht und Deportationen, hat Emma alles verloren: ihren Sohn und ihren Ehemann, den die Nazis verschleppt und ermordet haben, ihren Wohlstand, ihre Wohnung, die sie für die neuen Bewohner*innen putzen muss. An ihren toten Mann richtet sie ihre Worte, und es ist besonders dieser Umstand, der ihr fundamentales Alleinsein in einer verstörenden Umwelt betont.Die Entwürdigung und Entmenschlichung, die Emma erlebt, infiziert auch ihre Sprache: nüchtern, beinahe teilnahmslos wirkt diese zuweilen. In rhythmischen und zugleich wie isoliert stehenden Sätzen konkretisieren sich wie in einem Prisma die zerstörten Lebenswege von Emma und ihren Bekannten - denn sie sieht hin, wendet den Blick nicht von den Gewaltexzessen auf offener Straße ab. Sie tut dies aus Pflichtgefühl gegenüber den Ermordeten. Und aus einer Wut heraus, die, wie sie sagt, größer ist als ihre Angst.Im Vorwort zu ihrer Übersetzung und zur Entstehung dieses Werks, das Max Aub zu Beginn seiner eigenen Flucht aus Spanien 1939 in Paris geschrieben hat, erläutert Stefanie Gerhold das "Erzählen in Splittern", mit dem Aub seine eigene Fassungslosigkeit literarisiert. Die Unmöglichkeit, die Ereignisse einzuordnen, bestimmt auch die Perspektive seiner Figur. Das Nachwort von Albrecht Buschmann erläutert die Rezeptionsgeschichte und stellt diesen einzigartigen Monolog in den Kontext von Max Aubs Theater, das immer wieder um die existenzielle Erfahrung von Ausschluss und Verfolgung kreist.
