WEREWOLF TRANSGENDERISM

[Ten-minute comedy]
Ezra and three of his trans guy friends get together for brunch. They all want to hear how Ezra's first months on testosterone are going--he has some interesting symptoms to share.

Inspired by a Tumblr post by user peach-pot: “trans guy who doesn’t realize he’s turning into a werewolf because he assumes it’s all just normal side effects of starting testosterone.”

WEREWOLF TRANSGENDERISM

  • Jillian Blevins: WEREWOLF TRANSGENDERISM

    Noah Good really said “community care, but make it ravenous”. The premise is fun and campy (and would make this play a great addition to a horror/halloween festival), but the the most impactful element of WEREWOLF TRANSGENDERISM is its tender heart, and the way it portrays the necessity of community amongst the disenfranchised (in this case, trans men). Despite their various flaws, these characters are quick to show up for each other no matter the circumstance. And god, don’t we need that.

    In the two works of Noah's I've read, they have such a knack for grounding extreme circumstances with genuine, often funny & relatable characters. In this play, the premise/circumstances are bizarre enough to carry the comedy, so Noah uses their understanding of the queer experience to add an emotional core. This allows the comedy to arise from these characters' honest reactions to the absurdity they find themselves in. Noah builds so well on such a fun premise, making this a blast to read.
