GASH 
by Caitie Graham
DIRECTED BY MADELEINE JULLIAN
​

November 22 - 26, 2017 in the Studio Theatre

Cata wakes up with an infected tattoo on her leg. When the memory of everyone involved is clouded by either drugs, denial, or desire, whose version of the truth is Cata supposed to believe? GASH is a fierce exploration of a young girl’s sexuality, an act of violence that devastates a friendship, and the question; can truth be subjective? A play about two high school kids adrift in a world they’re ill-equipped to navigate.
