Graduatric
A Lucy Linford Production • Semi-professional company
About the show
Graduatric is a two-hander by A Lucy Linford Production, staged at Stephenson Theatre during Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Written by TV writer and NFTS and GCU graduate Lucy Linford, the 50-minute play centres on mature student Susan, accused of transphobia, whose charged encounters with her tutor force buried grief and long-suppressed truths to the surface. The show is described as fierce, funny and unsettling, and draws a comparison to Educating Rita. Suitable for audiences aged 14 and over. Tickets are £10.
Why see this show?
A sharp two-hander that places an urgent, contested debate inside the tightly pressurised world of a student-tutor relationship. Linford's dialogue-driven approach promises bruised characters and uncomfortable truths without easy resolutions.
