Christina Cook’s new play, Postcards to My Younger Transexual Self, is exactly as intimate as the title promises — a piece built around connecting three generations of women in one story.
Trans stories told on stage still carry a different weight than most theatre — they’re rarer, and when they’re written from lived experience rather than as a device for someone else’s plot, they land with a specificity that’s hard to fake. A play framed as a letter to a younger self, spanning three generations of women, promises exactly that kind of grounded, personal honesty.
Vancouver’s theatre scene has been slowly making more room for work like this — stories that center trans and queer experience as the whole point of the piece, not a subplot. Every production that gets staged makes the next one a little less of a leap for the venue booking it.
Venue, run dates, and ticket details weren’t confirmed at post time — keep an eye out for the full listing as the run approaches.
Have you caught a trans-led production in Vancouver recently? We’d love recommendations for what to watch next.
