Infos

An irreverent and unsettling play that interrogates paranoia, ambiguity and innocence in our highly sexualised world. Gethin has just finished his film course and reckons he's the next Scorsese. His mum is on at him to do her friend's wedding video - before the couple get divorced! But Gethin is interested in a much more daring project - one that will get him into dangerously deep water, question his idealism and turn his life and that of his family upside down. Stacey Gregg's play Perve was first staged at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in 2011. 'Gutsy, polished... Gregg's concept is stunningly good, and uncannily timely... this is a gripping paranoia drama' - Irish Independent 'In her first full-length play, Stacey Gregg tackles very current concerns about the sexualisation of children and loss of innocence' - Guardian
