I wrote it as kind of a Disney-esque fairy tale for anybody who\u2019s ever felt different, not just queer people, trans people, gay people, but anybody who just grew up feeling like an outsider for liking something conventionally against the norm or not really fitting the mold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just been so exciting to see not only where it\u2019s come in a couple of years, but that it\u2019s been funded by the Arts Council, that people are really taking note, especially given everything that\u2019s happening in society for trans people at the moment, that there really is that encouragement in the arts that we can spread trans hope and joy up and down the UK, take it to these amazing places, and engage with communities that wouldn\u2019t necessarily have that conversation.\u201d <strong>\u2013 Hunter King<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A Northern Tr*nny Hootenanny plays at The Met Bury Saturday 30th May.
