About this ebook
A love story about transition, testosterone, and James Dean.
Josh and Isabella are childhood sweethearts. They were meant to spend their gap year together, they were meant to be together forever. But Isabella has now become a boy.
Pronoun was commissioned as part of the 2014 National Theatre Connections Festival and premiered by youth theatres across the UK. Especially written for young actors, the play can be performed by a cast of seven, with some doubling of roles, or a much larger cast.
'honest, touching and relevant' as thought-provoking as it is engaging' A Younger Theatre

Reviews for Pronoun (NHB Modern Plays)
5 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The plot was gripping, there was a lovely mix of different styles of scenes, some very funny, the power dynamics are constantly shifting and it addresses important themes.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5As a trans person, there were some problematic parts but overall it was good, and some parts were really well captured. In the casting notes and stage directions you can definitely tell a cis man wrote this. I liked the comedic moments though.
