The show starts tomorrow, and to be clear, this post I quoted is NOT true at all. The cast list does include at least one trans person, but there are several cis-women, and they will all be fully nude at some point in the show. I had uploaded a few of their headshots a few posts ago.
Anyone going to check it out?

I realize that this will make some people uncomfortable, but the Sophocles’s play Antigone is itself about politics and gender roles, and the Anne Carson translation that the director is using is even more focused on these issues, this post modernist take on it is relevant.
Though if you are planning to make you dick happy and you have a problem with queer cultureyou might want to look somewhere else.
