Scratchworks Theatre Company

Trapped in a well shaft for 56 hours, a little girl waits to be found. Above ground, three journalists chase the story every step of the way, framing it for media consumption and spinning it wildly, erratically and erroneously away from the truth. 
Inspired by true events, this tale searches for answers and scatters accusations as the rescue mission for the child struggles on. Incorporating sharp new writing, imaginative tomfoolery and earthy folk music, Scratchworks scrutinise the media’s editorial power over public perception.
