Retardant

A new monologue play by Isaac Quinn

What's your favourite TV show?
For one autistic Donegal teen, it's Skivvies, a teen drama about to enter its fifth season about his favourite character, Nick Braxton. After moving to Belfast to pursue his own coming-of-age story, he gets caught up in the messy and debauched hedonism of Gen Z queers. As his gender and sexuality waver, the TV glows brighter than the city lights and the lines between fiction and reality start to blur...

This is a work-in-progress performance of a new monologue play by Isaac Quinn presented as a part of Foyle Pride Festival. Stay after the show for a Q&A with the writer.

Applause is encouraged.
