"This anthology is special: a book of trans plays about trans life as it is actually, materially lived in time and space". - Anthony Sansonetti in Theatre Survey on Volume 1.

The Methuen Drama Book of Trans Plays Volume 2 offers eight new plays by trans playwrights centering trans characters, trans life, and gender diversity.

Curated via an open submission policy, this book brings together dramatic works that feature nuanced, authentic, and wonderfully messy representations of gender, race, and sexuality.

Alongside the full scripts, all of which are published here for the first time, this anthology series also includes a wide range of critical essays to inspire deeper understanding of the works, playwrights, and interventions these plays make in the theatrical ecology.

Cercle Hermaphroditos by Shualee Cook
Red Rainbow by Azure D. Osborne-Lee
Degenerates by Else Went
Close to Home by Sharifa Yazmeen
The Bugs by Sloka Krishnan
The Skin of Other Men by Fig Lefevre
Oh, Buddy by Hal Cosentino
Gender Play, or what you Will co-created by Will Wilhelm and Erin Murray

Edited by Leanna Keyes, Lindsey Mantoan and Angela Farr Schiller, the plays and companion essays in this anthology explicitly call for expansive approaches to trans characters, themes, and aesthetics in order to promote opportunities for trans artists, making this an original and necessary publication for both practical use and academic study.
