Hindsite is the culmination of a year’s worth of study, and a series of theatre workshops with the local Trans community. Written, produced and directed by emerging trans artist Órla Conder – and staring a cast composed entirely of talented individuals from the trans and queer community – Hindsite is an answer to the widespread rhetoric against trans rights in the mainstream press.
Coming at a time of Supreme Court rulings that threaten to erode those rights even further, Hindsite offers up an alternative, in the heartfelt personal narrative of a young trans person; asking the audience the age-old adage: ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’.
Set in the realms of science-fiction, and inspired by the low-budget camp of classic BBC serials such as Doctor Who, Blake’s 7 and Red Dwarf (amongst others), the show promises to provide laughter and clichés aplenty – alongside its more nuanced social messaging.
There will be an optional Q&A with the cast and creative team after the show. All audience members are welcome (and encouraged) to attend.
