The acerbic new chapter of Louise Weard’s visionary, post-modern trans epic, Castration Movie, chapter iii. Junior Ghosts—Premorphic Drift. Here, we follow Izzy (Avalon Fast) who is desperately clawing for any source of (mis)information to sabotage her partner (Henri Gillespi)’s transition. 

Weard confronts the audience across two hours of uncomfortable truths, exposing the grotesque behaviours of cis and trans people alike with razor-sharp precision; Junior Ghosts is a bold satirical splurge of female paranoia, biological essentialism, and the horrors of a Mumsnet echo chamber.

Content warning: contains scenes of graphic violence and sex, themes of suicide and homophobic and transphobic language.

Suffering from insomnia, disturbed loner Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) takes a job as a New York City cabbie, haunting the streets nightly, growing increasingly detached from reality as he dreams of cleaning up the filthy city. When Travis meets pretty campaign worker Betsy (Cybill Shepherd), he becomes obsessed with the idea of saving the world, first plotting to assassinate a presidential candidate, then directing his attentions toward rescuing 12-year-old prostitute Iris (Jodie Foster).
