    The characters take over and it's fantastic. They have some ideas she never would have thought of, breaking stereotypes and giving them a voice. Well done!

    It’s easy to see why Write This Way is so popular at queer theatre festivals. Hoke tackles serious issues surrounding gender identity and sexuality and the way we discuss them through a humorous and meta lens, while creating interesting roles for trans/non-binary actors. Bravo!
