Description

Eve tells the story of a child raised as a boy, when she knew all along that was wrong. That child grew up to be one of the 10 Outstanding Women in Scotland in 2017. With trans rights again under threat, legendary playwright, performer, father and grandmother Jo Clifford tells a story both gentle and passionate, intimate and political, to remind us that the journey towards our real selves is one we all need to make.

Reviews

This is deceptively autobiographical in its content but is, in truth, deeply political... Certainly challenging, but without being confrontational, Clifford is addressing those who are already gender sensitive, and asking them to question themselves about their own attitudes.' The Stage
