-Time Out NY
Isaac, a young veteran, returns to his childhood home and discovers that his family’s been completely transformed. His timid mother, freed from the constraints of her abusive marriage, has begun a crusade to subvert the patriarchy, and his sister has become a trans male anarchist who uses the pronouns ze and hir. Meanwhile, his abusive father now wears clown makeup and downs estrogen pills…against his will.
Obie Award-winner Taylor Mac’s “audacious, uproarious black comedy” (New York Times) flips the script on gender power dynamics and asks a key question: does destroying the past really free you from it? It’s a sly kitchen-sink drama covered in glitter, and you’ll laugh your way through to an answer.
Capital T is proud to present the regional premiere of this dysfunctional dark original comedy by Taylor Mac that lies somewhere in the theatrical cannon between Christopher Durang and Sam Shepard. It stars Austin favorites Nate Jackson, Jay Byrd, Dilon Yrugas and Roxy Becker under the direction of Delanté Keys.
