- Abstract:
- This interview with Terri Power, conducted by Alexa Alice Joubin, focuses on the representations of trans masculinity in Power's play Drag King Richard III. For nearly two decades Power has been at the forefront of trans and queer representation in performances of Shakespeare. Weaving a personal story of the 1990s with Shakespeare’s early modern disability narrative, Power’s adaptation reveals that the gender binary was enforced even in queer circles in the 1990s, coding lesbian identities as either butch or femme. The interview concludes with her suggestions for future work in transgender theater based on her collaboration with trans actors beyond Richard III. ::: https://borrowers-ojs-azsu.tdl.org/borrowers/article/view/332
