And/Orlando
100 minutes / 5 Actors
As of 2019, Facebook lists over 70 gender options ranging from transmasculine to neutrois. And/Orlando navigat es this proliferation of options, lifting the veil of political correctness surrounding transgender discourse. Throughout the play, Virginia Woolf’s Orlando provides a literary touchstone, a way to historicize gender fluidity. But for all its gender-bending exploration, And/Orlando is primarily about parenting, an increasingly complicated challenge in the new millennium.
