If you are born in a country where being yourself can get you
killed, exile is your only choice. Frances Poet's play Adam is the
remarkable true story of a young trans man having to make that
choice and begin his journey. It charts Adam's progress from Egypt
to Scotland, across borders and genders, in his search for a place
to call home. The play was first performed by the National Theatre
of Scotland at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, during the
Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2017, where it won a Fringe First award.
It was directed by Cora Bissett, with music by Jocelyn Pook, and
starred Adam Kashmiry, whose story inspired the play. A TV movie
based on the play, written by Frances Poet and also starring Adam
Kashmiry, was made by Hopscotch Films and National Theatre of
Scotland, and was broadcast by the BBC in 2021. The film was the
winner in the Television Scripted category at the 2021 BAFTA
Scotland Awards.
