If you are born in a country where being yourself can get you killed, exile is your only choice.
Frances Poet's play Adam is the remarkable true story of a young trans man having to make that choice and begin his journey. It charts Adam’s progress from Egypt to Scotland, across borders and genders, in his search for a place to call home.
The play was first performed by the National Theatre of Scotland at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2017. It was directed by Cora Bissett, with music by Jocelyn Pook.
