Title: A Kid Like Jake
Post by: andyg0404 on June 26, 2017, 03:54:16 PM

Hi,

Saw a brief mention of a new transgender film in the Daily News this morning so I Googled it for more information. Looks like it won't be released until 2018. This is a link to a Daily Mail article with pictures. https://tinyurl.com/yckuwcun I don't see a trailer as yet. Stars Claire Danes and Jim Parsons.

I see "A Kid Like Jake" was actually a play. I noticed listings of it going back to 2013. So this is an adaptation of that.

Here's a 2013 interview with the author.

In the play, I don't believe a kid appears in it. It's mostly just a discussion about the kid from what I see of clips of the play.

It turns out the play is the adaption of a rare out of print 63-page paperback book.
