Emily doesn't know how to come out as a trans woman to her bigoted boss, ignorant family, and toxic dating pool. The longer she takes to come out, the greater the strain grows on her closest friendship. Whatever happens, one terrible inevitability approaches fast: Emily seems doomed to end up alone.

Spit It Out is the new play written by Alice K. Stephens (Creative Writing PhD candidate, University of Essex) and directed by Noah Alfred Pantano (Standing On A Nail, Two Come Home). The play stars trans actress Willow MacDonald (PECs, 11 Miles) as Emily. Joe Eason (Two Come Home), Jamie Coenen, and Isobel Sheard (The S is Silent) accompany MacDonald to play a cascade of characters who complicate Emily's coming out.

Spit It Out was written as part of Stephens's M.A. Creative Writing dissertation at the University of Essex. Following a sold-out premiere in Colchester and a work-in-progress performance at a London festival, Pantano & Co. are excited to finally fully mount this hilarious and heartbreaking new queer work.
