- Book Synopsis
- Three solo plays by 'one of Canada's most promising young independent theatre artists' (Toronto Star), Age of Minority explores the lives of three queer youths and their resilience in the face of violence and intolerance. Based on a true story, Get Yourself Home Skyler James (2009) follows the harrowing journey of a young lesbian who defects from the army when she is outed by fellow soldiers. The award-winning rihannaboi95 (2013) centres around a Toronto teen whose world comes crashing in when YouTube videos of him dancing to songs by his favourite pop heroine go viral. Peter Fechter: 59 Minutes (2013) chronicles the last hour of the life of a teenager in East Berlin, shot while attempting to cross the Berlin Wall in 1962 with his companion. Jordan Tannahill's Age of Minority: Three Solo Plays won the 2014 Governor General's Literary Award for Drama.
