Period Parrrty

By Gayathiri Kamalakanthan

"A fresh coming-out and coming-of-age story...a simple, radiant idea that lingers long after the lights go down." -Theatre and Tonic

A Tamil teenager is preparing for their period party-a coming-of-age ritual meant to mark "womanhood." But Krish isn't a girl. And this celebration feels more like the start of a never-ending performance. As expectations mount, Krish decides to take control. With help from their best friend Brenavee and a growing chosen family, Krish imagines the degendered party of their dreams.

Set in 2010, in the aftermath of the Tamil genocide, Gayathiri Kamalakanthan's play Period Parrrty is at once a story of survival and a trans Tamil rom-com for the ages.
