One Flea Spare by Naomi Wallace
5.0

"Yes, but only because I allow it. I have given history a wee slap on the buttocks and for a moment something terribly strange happened: you in my shoes. However, what we see here is not real."

This play explodes all of the binaries that trouble us about society with its concepts and prose. It is also about one of the Bubonic plague waves, so I would caution against reading it right now if the pandemic setting might be triggering for you. This play includes a cast of characters that you will love, and a backdrop that sparks plenty of social commentary that, sadly, still applies today.

It's fairly short; give it a read!
