Overview
A touching and provocative story of first love though the eyes of a
gender-curious teen, Scorch was inspired by recent UK cases of 'gender
fraud'. For those who feel they're not living the right life, online is a
place to be yourself. Out in the real world, though, things can be very
different. Stacey Gregg's play for a solo performer premiered at the
Outburst Queer Arts Festival, Belfast, in 2015, co-produced by Prime
Cut, MAC and Outburst. It won the Irish Times Theatre Award for Best New
Play and the Writers Guild of Ireland ZeBBie Award for Best Theatre
Script. It was presented in Paines Plough's Roundabout at the 2016
Edinburgh Festival Fringe, before touring Ireland.
