Kai Solano Miranda and Clara Nowak in Rotterdam
This production of Rotterdam from the new queer company Under His Lyre features good work by emerging actors in a script that’s pretty bad.
In Rotterdam, playwright John Brittain tells the story of Fiona and Alice. They’re a couple, and Alice is just about to send a coming-out email to her parents when Fiona blurts, “I think I’m meant to be a man.” As Fiona starts filling out their trans identity — and takes a new name, Adrian — Alice struggles with her sense of herself as lesbian.
