Salt Lake City, Utah – Thursday, we're talking about Julie Jensen's new play "She Was My Brother." It's about a Zuni two-spirit - a person born a man but living and accepted as a woman - and two Victorian anthropologists. It's loosely based on history, but when Jensen read the anthropologists' accounts she was struck by what was left out and began to imagine the relationships between the three. Doug sits down with Jensen and others to talk about a moment when society could have taken a very different path.

Plan B Theatre Company's production of "She Was My Brother" runs through this Sunday, November 7th at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center. For tickets and information, call 801.355.ARTS or click here
