Trans People Are Awful

Ros Watt in Association with Camden People's Theatre • Professional company

60 minutes•Bunker One
Transitioning's hard, finding the right parts is harder. In a garage in North-East Scotland, a young trans guy invites you to witness his genius in hunting cis men for body parts. Armed with a camera, vivid imagination and an axe he bought on Facebook marketplace, Boy is explaining his quest to complete the perfect transition. His method (killing cis men and stealing their body parts), may be unconventional but it does bypass NHS waiting times. True crime cut up with dark comedy, Trans People are Awful dissects identity, morality and the effects of extreme loneliness.
