uDavid Harrison
Playwright and performer, David Harrison is a female-to-male transsexual who invites you for an intimate look at his transsexual journey from female-to-male in his one person show "FTM". David's show is a wise and witty excursion through the middle ground of gender, being one person's journey to discover the nature of masculinity and manhood. In "FTM", David's transformation is juxtaposed with that of his mother who is experiencing changes in her own body as a result of breast cancer. Their stories, sometimes funny, frequently poignant, are told through dreams, anecdotes, and remembrances. David's underlining theme of alienation is a universal one. His quest to feel comfortable in his own skin and to be accepted by others makes "FTM" a must see.
