This play chronicles the events around the disappearance of Carlett Angianlee Brown, circa 1953. Born Charles Robert Brown in Pittsburg around 1927 and raised as a man, she joined the Navy in 1950 in order to receive treatment for what was later understood to be the condition of being intersex – having both male and female sexual characteristics. She declined the Navy’s offer to remove the female sexual organs and remain a man, choosing instead to live as a woman. She was photographed for the cover of Jet Magazine, where she announced her intention to travel to Denmark to have gender affirmation surgery, as it was not available in the United States, and to marry her boyfriend, an army sargeant. If successful, she would have been the first African-American to undergo such surgery. No records of her whereabouts exist after 1953.
