A compassionate account of a young trans woman’s journey, with a compelling performance from Anne Heywood.
A timely rediscovery, this audacious adaptation of Geoff Brown’s 1966 novel presents a compassionate account of a young trans woman’s journey. Despite problematic moments, Heywood’s performance as bullied, effete Roy, who starts a new life as fashion-loving Wendy, is captivating.
Join us after the screening for a discussion on trans representation led by Rhyannon Styles (Elle UK trans columnist and author of The New Girl), with trans campaigner Charlie Craggs and writer Kuchenga Shenjé.
Part of Gross Indecency at BFI Southbank.
