You’ve got to have a sense of cosmic patience with a play like “Looking for Normal,” a flawed script receiving a pretty good staging by a new company called Artisphere Theatre.
Jane Anderson’s 2001 comedy-tinged-drama about a husband who, after 25 years of marriage, finally admits to and acts on his long-buried belief that he should have been born a woman is a pioneer in the nascent world of transgender theater. Vanguard plays like this generally aren’t very good pieces of mainstream drama – they tend toward the preachy and the pedantic, the histrionic and the terribly, terribly earnest.
