HELP IVORIES GET TO EDINBURGH FRINGE!

IVORIES, an LGBTQ+ horror tragicomedy is finally hopping the pond to make it to Edinburgh Fringe. After sold-out runs in NYC, we are thrilled to finally bring this story to life in the UK. We're performing at theSpaceUK's theSpace on the Mile August 4th-12th, and we need your help to make it there.

What do you get when A24's golden renaissance of horror is captured through a propulsive and urgent tragicomedy? McCarthy's haunting, yet bitingly funny thriller theatre follows nonbinary playwright Sloane and their botanist husband Gwyn settling the estate of Sloane's ailing grandmother. A sudden spiral of Sloane's obsession with completing their masterpiece in the house forces Gwyn to question the safety of Sloane regurgitating their family trauma into their art. When Gwyn's childhood friend Beckham arrives to help the couple bury the hatchet, they soon discover there may be more to the house, and to Sloane, hidden beneath the foundation. If the basement is the stomach... then what's the basement door? Ivories explores the cycles of generational trauma we inherit, the spectrum of bisexuality and trans identity, and how far we'd go to protect the family we've chosen.

IVORIES tells a story about queer chosen family through the lens of modern and contemporary horror. Told through unconventional stage lighting and providing a unique, claustrophobic horror experience, there is simply nothing like it on the stage right now. To bring this show to Fringe catapults queer (and particularly trans) representation in a field where this is lacking. With the popularity of horror making a comeback on the stage and screen (think 2:22: A Ghost Story, and Hereditary), now more than ever it is important to bring unique and underrepresented perspectives to the stage.

Any funds garnered from our GoFundMe will be used to cover the following:

1. Venue rental fee.

2. Flights for all six company members travelling to Fringe.

3. Hotel fee.

Any leftover funds raised will go straight into paying company members for food or other costs accrued during our travels.

We are so excited to be heading to Fringe, and we are thankful for any help that comes our way.
