NARCISSUS AS PLOT FORM: A TRANSSEXUAL RAGE(R) at The Makers' Ensemble

NARCISSUS AS PLOT FORM: A TRANSSEXUAL RAGE(R) by Oscar K. is a modern-day t4t4t love story that re-imagines Narcissus as a broke Bushwick transfag who ultimately breaks out of the doomed narrative of his namesake. Weaving together Ancient Greek gods and modern queer myth, the play is a meta-commentary on twink/doll solidarity, trans like transgression, and what it’s like to escape the prophecy put on your head and make your dreams come true. Make transition sexy again! 

As part of their 2025 Residency Presentations, First Kiss Theatre Company will present a staged reading of NARCISSUS AS PLOT FORM: A TRANSSEXUAL RAGE(R) on December 8th at 7pm at The Makers’ Space in Brooklyn, NY. 

NARCISSUS AS PLOT FORM: A TRANSSEXUAL RAGE(R) is a semi-finalist for the 2025 Terrence McNally New Works Incubator. Excerpts were produced in London at The Divine and in T4T Fest at The Brick in 2025.

An excerpt of NARCISSUS AS PLOT FORM: A TRANSSEXUAL RAGE(R) was selected to be published in The Brooklyn Rail in December 2025.
