“Bed Play” features the issues in the queer community that playwright Shar Steiman has observed through friends and lovers, including sex and love.
With a cast of only four people, a new production at the District Theatre on Massachusetts Avenue is an intimate look at today's queer culture and romance.
“It’s not just this raunchy, sexual, tongue-in-cheek thing,” Steiman said. “It has the humanizing, real, true elements to it, as well.” The production marks the fifth play Steiman has collaborated with co-producer and director Ty Stover. The two met when Steiman was a freshman in high school and Stover was his theater teacher.
"Oftentimes, we see the pains ... or it's centered around that person being queer and that’s their struggle,” Steiman said,"whereas this dives deeper into that and shows what it’s really like to just be queer and live your life." The cast list is composed of a transgender man, a transgender woman, a non-binary person and another person whose pronouns are he/they, each linking to their respective character. Through the play, their characters explore both their sexual and gender identity.
With its inclusive cast and subject matter, the play seeks to educate those who are allies or want to learn more about transgender, nonbinary or queer people. Pauline Moffat, the general manager of the District Theatre, has known Steiman for nearly 10 years and said she considers the play a learning experience.
