JANE theater company production examines love, family and change What happens when one half of a silver-anniversary couple wants a sex change? What of the blindsided spouse? The dumbfounded chil dren? Their church congregation? What then? What next? That’s the premise of Looking for Normal, playwright Jane Ander son’s domestic comedy-drama with a (trans)gender twist. Presented by (coincidentally) Portland theater company JANE, the family portrait opens as Roy, the patriarch of a respected middle American brood, ap proaches wife Irma with a confession: He’s a woman trapped inside a man’s body and wants to undergo gender reassignment. W hat’s even more of a doozy: He drops the bombshell during marriage counseling with their pastor. Television viewers may be familiar with Anderson’s play, adapted for HBO by the scribe herself in 2003—Jessica Lange portrayed Irma to Tom Wilkinson’s Roy. As the couple, their adolescent tomboy daughter and grown son struggle with their own life changes—Irma’s in meno pause, to boot—the family and community at large grapple with the definitions and dynamics of love, and how it ultimately transcends - gender. Tim Smith and Kim Bogus (also JANE’s artistic director) star in the latest production, what should be a provocative, moving Look at notions of “normal” life—whatever the hell that is.
