Hunter is a postman who is trying to deliver a mysterious parcel to a resident in an apartment block. The recipient is hard to find and, on the way, Hunter interacts with various other residents, a transgender and gender-diverse group of people. Their stories help him on his own voyage of self-discovery.
Developed by the director and cast, the story gives an insight into the lives and experiences of transgender and gender-diverse people. The characters are warm and loving, funny and eccentric with moving stories of hurt and prejudice to tell.
The show is performed by a cast of six – Jolene Mifsud, Remus Douglas, Rachel Lee, MadB, Kalokairi Subakti and Henry Zovaro. Director Kat Reed also makes an appearance.
