Hear their voice
When a British playwright heard about the 2015 murder of Dallas trans woman Shade Shuler, whose decomposing body was found dumped in a field in the city’s Medical District he began educating himself about the ongoing epidemic of anti-transgender violence. The result is In The Tall Grass, a verbatim play telling the stories of transgender people in their own words to raise awareness of trans men’s and women’s battles and give voice to their issues. The play, for mature audiences only, stars trans actors Shannon Walker and Mieko Hicks.
