Some men feel the need and have the most powerful inclinations to dress in women’s clothing, why is this? Testostrogen discusses this behavior. There are many forms of cross-dressing; in some men and indeed women it’s been an uncontrollable desire ever since they can remember and leads to gender dysphoria then full transformation. In some men the need to “DRESS” often develops in later life, our story explores this avenue.
The play partially mirrors playwright Joanna Pearce’s own gender transition journey and she plays the part of the main character, Steve, who later becomes Stephanie.
Professional actor Denise Snoad will play two roles – Steve’s partner and boss.
The play is directed Adam Burrell.
