Cringe

It’s Reid Aitken’s first day of high school and he just wants to vanish. When an embarrassing incident spirals into a legend known only as “The Creeping Snake,” Reid finds himself at the centre of the cruellest joke in school. Suddenly, the question isn’t how to disappear – it’s how to survive, and who will stand beside you when everything feels impossible. Fast-paced, funny, and painfully true, Cringe is a story about surviving the minefield of growing up, standing up to bullies, and finding the friend who makes you braver than you ever thought you could be. “So beautiful, complex and nuanced, with just the right dose of humour.” Delegate feedback from 2025 script reading.
