Factory Theatre to Present World Premiere of Coleman's 'Scratch'

Factory Theatre will present the world premiere of the Charlotte Corbeil-Coleman's deeply moving and funny play Scratch first written when she was only 16. Scratch is a semi-autobiographical story of Charlotte's experience, told through the touching and quirky perspective of 15 year old Anna, of losing her mother, novelist and journalist Carole Corbeil to ovarian cancer. Charlotte states, 'I had an urgent need to tell a story that came from a place of pure grief. So much of who I am came from losing her. My writing and talent is so linked to that loss'.
