Postcards From Over The Edge, the most recent production, addresses prostitution today and back in the days of Storyville along with laws that target prostitutes unfairly. The crime against nature type laws effectively criminalize sex workers while leaving their customers untouched. Hugely entertaining and with plenty of comedy element, the play was followed by a roundtable of the performers relating their own experiences as trans women and prostitutes.
The play was originally written by Karel. This version was reworked, adding material written by cast members and live music.
