Pony A Play

A seminal work of trans theater brought to the page for the first time

When Pony, a formerly incarcerated trans guy, moves to a small rural town to start a new life, he quickly becomes entangled with its isolated community. He starts to fall for a waitress who is obsessed with a local murder; he must comply with a butch social worker who doesn't understand him; and he is pursued by a young trans man who thinks Pony could be the father he always wanted. Amid this whirlwind of fear and desire, Pony must find the strength to confront the stories he's been told about masculinity, violence, and self-worth. With a new preface by the author on searching for queer and trans community in the theater, and an afterword by critic Miriam Felton-Dansky contextualizing its place in contemporary theater, Pony is a seminal work of trans theater exploring questions of generational difference, class, and gender on an epic scale.
