She’s having this party tonight. A riotous celebration of life or a ritual of mourning — you decide.

She’s all dolled up, the candles are lit and the table set for summoning those she loves, those this world has forced her to lose, and for you. This will be the birthday of a lifetime, it may even be her last.

Thirty-Six is a fiercely intimate, cross-continental collaboration between two trans writer-performers—UK theatre icon Jo Clifford (The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven) and Australia’s own Bayley Turner.

Together, they confront the brutal realities and quiet miracles of trans existence: aging in a world that rarely lets us grow old, grieving in a culture that would rather forget us, and celebrating the radical act of survival.

This is not just a show. It’s a reckoning. An elegy. A revolution in heels.
