The Edinburgh Fringe Show 2023 – Rebecca McGlynn (Asexuality!)

Rebecca McGlynn’s musical ‘Asexuality’ asks what it means to be a man in the 21st century and how toxic masculinity affects those of us assigned male at birth. It’s an autobiographical musical comedy about Rebecca’s life before transitioning.

Sitting down with Rebecca in a brief moment of sun, we talk about the power of Sondheim and choosing to do a musical for a show about queer identity; and why life never fits in a nice three-act structure.

This is an autographical piece, and as part of the interview, Rebecca does briefly talk about a historical sexual assault, at around the sixteen-minute of the podcast.
