PAST PRODUCTIONS
CRINGE
"Decidedly queer and very much about the female gaze [...] a superbly realised celebration of the love of geeky things and fannish lore. Fabulous. Hilarious. Filled with (slightly awkward) love."
STARBURST Magazine
"Pure homo-erotic, gender sensitive fun."
UK Theatre Web
"Incredibly well done [...] And the last line is an absolute killer."
BRIG Newspaper
“Nicely balances a study of female fandom and sexual feeling [...] with some very funny character work and interaction.”
The Scotsman
It began with The Show. The star-hopping sci-fi series that seized American hearts one television set at a time. In 1969, a group of housewives compose forbidden love stories. In a Y2K bedroom, two teens write questionable fanfiction. CRINGE is a celebration of intergenerational fandom and liberative queer worldbuilding with a hearty dose of camp and a sprinkle of…well. Cringe.
