Review # 1 was written on 2014-11-17 00:00:00 Ardyn Nordstrom Whoa! Ok, so I already knew this was going to be terrible from reading Viviane Namaste's slam of it in Invisible Lives, but I was genuinely surprised at just how bad it was! Basically the story is this: a 'pathetic' drag queen who longs to transition and is in abusive relationship with some piece of aged rough trade suffers a terrible public embarrassment and ends up giving up her entire identity as a result. And we're supposed to take this as a revelation, a moment of truth, a restoration. And also as an indication of gay identities ultimately being gentrified because her rough trade won't shut up about the lights being installed in Parc Lafontaine and how that killed cruising. Fuck Michel Tremblay for being a transphobic douchebag. Fuck 'pathetic transsexual' narratives. Fuck the idea that biology = truth. And fuck this stupid play!
