Catch Scrape fresh from its Standard Bank AHA! Award-winning run at the 2013 National Arts Festival.

Scrape is the story of an everyday woman suffering from an unusual condition. After falling and scraping herself, Beth discovers that not only does skin heal, it can sometimes do so with a vengeance.

"Scrape, with its visceral imagery, is darkly funny and goes deep beyond the surface to scratch at issues of identity, obsession, helplessness and isolation." Artsblog

"Poet Genna Gardini's new script is beautifully honest and superbly acted by Amy Louise Wilson." CUE

"...unusual, refreshing and funny." Artsblog

"...theatre-making at its best." Artsblog

Incredible acting, extremely original concept and gripping the whole way through. Dark but strangely whimsical.

...a really excellent - imaginative and believable - piece of theatre creation by all - set, direction, lighting and above all the acting. Thank you so much for the experience.
