THE SHAPE SHIFTER

A play in two acts by R.L. Nesvet

15 April 2004, 7.30 p.m.
The Hampstead Theatre, Swiss Cottage, London

Synopsis:

"Dr. Gilbert Chesnet 'diagnoses' 18-year-old Alice Barbin (played by a woman) as a biological male, catalysing for both a strange journey through the labyrinth of their gender-segregated, name-obsessed society. While Barbin embarks upon a Kafkaesque new life as a man without a past, Chesnet finds himself unexpectedly attracted to the 'man' he has determined Barbin to be; and Barbin's former lover, Agathe, searches for the woman she has lost. When the assumed boundaries between female and male, medicine and religion,'the love of enigma and the enigma of love'; erode, Chesnet, Barbin, and Agathe all face the disintegration of their most fiercely defended certainties."

Tickets £2.00 at door or in advance, free to 'industry' people.
