Wrinkled
By Georgie Bailey
Funded by Arts Council England and developed with Mercury Theatre.
Wrinkled was written over a year-long development attachment after Georgie won the Adopt a Playwright Award in 2023 which resulted in a reading at the Criterion Theatre in April 2024.
Wrinkled was then selected from Chalk Line's open call to go into development in 2025. In March/April 2025 the play went through a period of ACE funded R&D at The Mercury Colchester.
Over the course of its evolution, the play has been supported by Kenny Emson as a mentor, the Adopt a Playwright Award, the Criterion Theatre, Pippa Hill (formerly of the RSC) and Linda Marlowe who was crucial to the play’s dramaturgical development.

A fake online persona modelled on the Katie Hopkins and Andrew Tates of the world, ‘SHARON’ was made to rile up hatred – and it’s Kelly, a former journalist herself, who is forced into the starring role. But as the experiment begins to go too far, the cracks will begin to show in this comfortable marriage…
