Burn It Down: I’m tired of waiting, someone pass me the duct tape

Burn It Down: I’m tired of waiting, someone pass me the duct tape

I’M TIRED OF WAITING, PASS ME THE DUCT TAPE is about two trans girls who are tired of being the ones kept waiting, so decide to take back control. It’s a funny, surprising and theatrical look into doctors, the medical system, and what it takes to medically transition in the UK.

“As a writer it is always so exciting to be given a brief that requires you to move quickly. No time to endlessly plan, we have to move and make it. I love Milli’s work as a director and I’m really looking forward to seeing what we make together.Travis Alabanza
