Deep-Cutting Henry VI

Deep-Cutting Henry VI is the story of a boy with no father finding a father with no son. More chaotically, it is the story of a trans-teen streamer with no father accidentally reanimating the body of King Henry VI, who now—because of the onslaught of six centuries or so—no longer has a son. Either way, when the two embark on a quick-paced comedic adventure through the English countryside, they learn they must confront not only the masculinity of violence but what truly makes a man—and if anyone might decide that for us? Dealing in our expectations of ourselves and one another, this work is a middle finger to the medical-industry complex that seeks to define our bodies and minds, and stands as a reminder that there is only way towards progress: Onwards. Together.
