By Sarah-Jane Scott
Directed by Paul Meade

Starring Sarah-Jane Scott

Winner of Summerhall Lustrum Award for Excellence at Edinburgh Fringe 2019 and nominated for Bewley’s Little Gem Award at Dublin Fringe 2018

Appropriate is a darkly comic tale of Sorcha; queen bee of her small West of Ireland town and proud fiancé of ex-county hurling hero Marty. She LOVES weddings and has been dreaming of her big day since forever and ever…However she has just fled her own reception. Has she gone mad? Or is this the first moment of clarity she has had in years? Perched on the edge of her ‘perfectly planned’ life, Sorcha is pure ragin’ at the dawning reality that she has never really listened to herself. Can she ever go back? 

Appropriate is about tradition V modern life, our insatiable appetite for matrimony, the glamour, trials and tribulations of being a GAA ‘widow’, and celebrates the hilarious peculiarities of small town Irish life.

“Winningly tongue in cheek…In Sarah-Jane Scott’s engrossing writing début, rituals of marriage and conventions of small-town Irish life have been updated to accommodate Instagram, but continue to grip tightly…an affecting solo.”

Irish Times ★★★★

“In Scott’s sharply observed and supremely funny script, one woman’s wedding day opens up a Pandora’s box of existential doubt…riveting and irresistible…a delightful mini-masterpiece”

The Arts Review ★★★★

“Smartly taps into the current zeitgeist: our insatiable obsession with weddings, and our hunger for funny stories about lovable, relatable country girls… one can’t help but be wooed by (Scott’s)self-depreciating, acutely observed tales of love and loss.”
