In recent years transgender lives have been the focus of ever-increasing (if often unhelpful) media attention. As trans people find their voices, gender-critical forces push back at what they see as trans ideology. The so-called trans debate has been fuelled by mutual mistrust, fear and even hatred - overt or otherwise – expressed in rhetoric sadly familiar to gay men, lesbians and People of Colour. All the while, trans people – in all their remarkable diversity – are, for the most part, just trying to live their lives and assert trans identity as just another way of being human.

Co-devised by actress, singer & trans advocate Kim Tatum (aka Mzz Kimberley) and playwright Brendan Murray , How Sweet the Sound is a major new play set at the interface of trans lives and gender-critical politics.

Growing out of months of research, conversations and interviews, the play centres on a safe-house in South London and tells the interweaving story of five trans and three cis characters.
​

Deliberately accessible but never simplistic, How Sweet the Sound puts the diversity, complexity and humanity of trans stories front and centre and argues for a world not that tolerates - or even accepts – but truly celebrates every way of being human. 

​We are delighted to welcome the following artists to help us develop the play:
