KSTC's second new work reading of the year is NARCISSUS AS PLOT FORM: A TRANSSEXUAL RAGE(R) by Oscar K.!

Narcissus is a modern-day t4t4t love story that re-imagines Narcissus as a broke Bushwick transfag who ultimately breaks out of the doomed narrative of his namesake. Weaving together Ancient Greek gods and modern queer myth, the play is a meta-commentary on twink/doll solidarity, trans like transgression, and what it’s like to escape the prophecy put on your head and make your dreams come true. Make transition sexy again! 

NARCISSUS AS PLOT FORM: A TRANSSEXUAL RAGE(R) is a semi-finalist for the 2026 Eugene O’Neill National Playwrights Conference and a semi-finalist for the 2025 Terrence McNally New Works Incubator. Excerpts were produced in London at The Divine and in T4T Fest at The Brick in 2025. An excerpt was selected to be published in The Brooklyn Rail in December 2025.

This reading is taking place at The RAT NYC with doors at 7pm and show at 7:30pm.
