The play is new original work from Belfast playwright Stacey Gregg. It confronts ideological norms, which have for so long shaped our understanding and beliefs surrounding sexuality and gender. Amy McAllister portrays a troubled teenage girl called Kez who is struggling with her gender identity. Kez explores her sexuality and gender by posing as a boy who embarks on an intimate relationship with another girl, which leads to devastating effects both legally and personally.
Directed by the award-winning Emma Jordan, the play presents a story of first love through the eyes of a gender-curious teen. Scorch opens at the Everyman Theatre, Cork, on Monday 12th September and runs until Saturday 17th. Tickets available from www.everymancork.com or from the Box office, telephone 021 450 1673.
