REVIEWS
“Most people are Other People” is a play that will be uncomfortable viewing for most people, but it is a story that needs to be told and the In Tandem Theatre Company have found a way to raise awareness of the missing ‘T’ with this compelling drama that will provide everyone with food for thought as they wend their way home once more.” ★★★★ London Theatre 1
“The piece was very affecting – it illuminated so many misunderstandings about the trans-community that are very prevalent, especially the seemingly petty ones, which can ultimately prove the most damaging… It’s the least-sensationalised, most compassionate piece on an issue like this I’ve seen in a very long time.” Audience feedback
“This is by far the best piece of theatre I have seen for years…
I think this play should be performed in every school in the country, or for that matter, the world.” Audience Feedback
Reviews for In Tandem’s previous work
"Intriguing, beguiling, fast paced, chaotic, funny and scary... a magical, fast paced, compelling show which elicits a multitude of emotions." (★★★★ Broadway Baby 2013)
“Family Tree is an intriguing piece of new writing performed with clarity and truth,.. If she keeps pushing boundaries like this, Loudon is one to watch.” (★★★★ The good review 2013)
“Weird, wonderful and thought-provoking” (★★★★Remote Goat 2013)
"Surreal... funny... strange but above all, enjoyable." (★★★★Three Weeks 2013)
Nearly half of young transgender people have attemped suicide. We ask why.
A series of seemingly disconnected characters argue about Esther. Who is she? Who was she? What led to her death? And who is responsible?
A provocative new play about choice, change, hope and violence.
They said she was being a selfish little boy. They said she’d change her mind. They told her she couldn’t use the girls toilets anymore. And now she’s dead.
When Esther was 12 she was too young. When she was 18 it was too late. If it was her body, was is it her choice?
‘Most People Are Other People’ examins who gets to decide a childs gender. A play about identity, choice and the need for accetance in a “tollerant” world.
