A captivating, darkly comic play that questions what it means to be
human. In a world where using technology to erase people's
imperfections and disabilities is increasingly normal, one couple
is going back to basics. Far from the city, Mark and Violet are
looking forward to the natural birth of their first baby. But one
of them has a secret that threatens to undermine their perfect
world. Stacey Gregg's Override was first performed at Watford
Palace Theatre in October 2013 as part of the theatre's Ideal World
Season.
Working collaboratively with Deborah Pearson and Stacey Gregg, four
Clean Break members, who are artists with prison experience,
created Inside Bitch. This show challenges societal perceptions by
challenging the stories we tell through television, the media, and
to ourselves. Inside Bitch questions what is lost when we try to
tell a story.

A touching and provocative story of first love though the eyes of a
gender-curious teen, Scorch was inspired by recent UK cases of
'gender fraud'. For those who feel they're not living the right
life, online is a place to be yourself. 'More real than real life.
I'm honest on there. I'm being honest. That's important.' Out in
the real world, though, things can be very different. Stacey
Gregg's play for a solo performer premiered at the Outburst Queer
Arts Festival, Belfast, in 2015, co-produced by Prime Cut, MAC and
Outburst. It won the Irish Times Theatre Award for Best New Play
and the Writers Guild of Ireland ZeBBie Award for Best Theatre
Script. It was presented in Paines Plough's Roundabout at the 2016
Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it won a Fringe First Award. It
then toured Ireland.

Gethin is 23, just finished a film course and reckons he's the next
Scorsese. His Mum is on at him to do her friend's wedding video and
before they get divorced. But Gethin is interested in a much more
daring project - one that will test his friendships, enrage his
sister, question his idealism and turn his life and that of his
family upside down. An irreverent and unsettling play from a rising
new voice in theatre, Stacey Gregg, that interrogates paranoia,
ambiguity and innocence in our highly sexualised world. It
premiered at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in 2011.
