Road to Heaven by Lettie Precious
4 Extra Debut. E*** accepts their true identity after reading a genderless love story and discovering the gay club scene. Stars EM Williams.
E***’s adolescent years are a bleak existence of abuse at home and bullying at school.
But after they read an extraordinary novella called Sphinx, their eyes are opened to their own identity and to an overpowering new world - gay clubs.
Anne Garretta’s ground breaking novella, Sphinx, is the world’s first genderless love story and serves as the inspiration for this extraordinary story of self discovery and self acceptance.
The journey of our anonymous protagonist, E***, closely reflects the story of this play’s author, Lettie Precious, who found their own path to Heaven in similar circumstances.
