Featuring a firecracker performance from Jade Anouka, Otherland tackles hot button issues with sensitivity and compassion
"Otherland" at the Almeida Theatre Review Summary
"Otherland," a play by Chris Bush, explores the trans experience through three central themes: a trans woman's journey to live authentically, societal pressure on women to reproduce, and the complexities of supporting a partner's identity. The story follows Jo and Harry, whose initially happy marriage faces strain when Harry transitions, highlighting Jo's struggle to adapt. Performances, particularly Jade Anouka's portrayal of Jo, are praised for their intensity. While the play tackles sensitive issues with compassion, it is noted as uneven in execution. The production runs at the Almeida Theatre until March 15.
