About the show
Cecilia Gentili's Red Ink is a comedy LGBTQ+ theatre show by Breaking the Binary Theatre and Elliot Page / PAGEBOY Productions, a professional company, at Jersey, Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show follows a young trans girl navigating the hilarity of rural Argentina during the nineteen-seventies. Part stand-up, part camp and almost all true, Red Ink is an irreverent romp in searching for faith while trans. It is the late writer, activist and icon Cecilia Gentili's autobiographical work, presented by Elliot Page, Sara Ramirez and others. The show runs for 60 minutes, is suitable for ages 18 and over, and tickets start from £10.
Why see this show?
Cecilia Gentili's autobiographical work is irreverent, funny and moving in equal measure — a story of faith, identity and survival told through the lens of one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary LGBTQ+ theatre. A rare and necessary show.
