Edinburgh Arts Group to launch play about JKR called TERF C**T – where Daniel, Rupert and Emma stage an 'intervention'

[IwantToRetire]

The play, which will be performed on stage in New York next month and is being touted for the Fringe this summer, sees the author's 'surrogate children – Daniel, Rupert and Emma' stage an 'intervention'

Civil Disobedience, which has its roots in the Edinburgh Fringe and was launched by Barry and Josef Church-Woods in May 2016, described it as a "vital think-piece on Joanne, exploring just what could motivate a person with such privilege to take such a divisive stance on issues that affect her fans".

It has been written by Joshua Kaplan, a "queer screenwriter and playwright", and will be performed at The Actors Studio in New York City on Thursday, February 8.

A press release advertising the show claims: "Please note: TERF C**T is not a kill piece. It provides space for reflection and ultimately offers the audience time to explore some of the more contentious aspects of JK's life."

The synopsis for the show continues: "Joanne led a blessed life – for a woman. Billionaire. Literary phenomenon. Natural ginger. And most importantly, beloved. Completely beloved. Until she blew it all to hell.

"From book deals to divorces, family dysfunction to broken friendships, TERF C**T goes beyond the headlines to explore the woman that captivated a world with her books only to unravel a legacy with her tweets."

I vote for Wazzcock

in the East Midlands (Leicester specifically) definitely wazzock.

I wonder if Josh thought the ones who turn up to berate women for daring to speak would buy tickets?

Hahahahahahahahaha <breathe> hahahaha ha ha... Oh man.

Actually Josh probably thought there would be huge protests on both sides and the publicity would see ticket sales soar. SOAR, I tells ya.

But what really happened is that it is just not a very good play and he pissed off the one demographic that can be depended upon to spend money on theatre tickets.

Well done Josh. And I mean that sincerely.

From theatrical misogyny to embarrassing school plays to the correct spelling of wazzock/wazzock!
I love this thread, it's got everything!
I think it's wazzock btw and my embarrassing school play moment was playing Cleopatra's death scene and sneezing just after.

what an insightful review! I’m sorry she had to sit through that tripe though

Maybe you’re thinking of Wuzzles?
