Faye’s Room

Faye’s Room is the story of Faye Murphy, an autistic lesbian who works at a queer cafe… and happens to have the power to summon and hide in a magical sensory room at will. When she becomes trapped in this room with her least favourite co-worker, son of the founder and token heterosexual Chase McLure, an unlikely bond forms, and the two find themselves with a bit more in common than they had thought.

“Faye’s Room marks a long list of firsts for us,” says Co-Artistic Director, Adam Grant Warren. “It’s our first play as Glitch Theatre, and the first mainstage production we’ve put up since the pandemic. It’s Alex’s first produced work, and the first time we’ve backed a D/disability-identified playwright with a team of a majority of neurodiverse directors, designers, and cast. That kind of representation – artists with lived experience of D/disability leading from multiple key positions and embedding access practice in the creative process – that’s the heart of Glitch Theatre. And Faye’s Room felt like the perfect opportunity to really embody that value right out of the gate.”

Faye’s Room is a moving exploration of neurodivergent solidarity, intergenerational bonds, and internalized ableism.
