| Description |
The social life of Scorch’s main character is held mainly online. Immersed in games of fantasy, and a world of popular culture where celebrities are her role models, she lives in a cocooned world where there are mostly happy endings. In an effective form of audience engagement she returns periodically to talk directly with her audience, her inner circle, to tell us how she’s going in her virtual world before being distracted back once more to join her online peers. Scorch portrays a slice of a new kind of life. Engaging and intelligent, Gregg is tormented and bemused by the confusing choices unfolding before her. She finds out the hard way that real life is not like the movies, but is still able to maintain an endearing sense of curious self-examination of her life, and even sees its funny side when she can distance herself from the pain of it all. |
