Loosely based on the true story of comedian and actor Jordan Gray, Exposure stars Jordan as Grace, an attention-starved reality star desperately trying to remain relevant after the world has moved on. Grace always knew she deserved to be famous. Her appearance on Sing For the Nation’s Love – the UK’s favourite TV talent show – made her an overnight sensation, accelerated by the story of her gender transition. The British public created an omnivorous fame monster - soaking up their acclaim, while feeding off the hot potato of identity politics. But reality TV is cyclical - and hot potatoes eventually go cold. A year on, her fame has plummeted and Grace is left chasing the identity she forged beneath the limelight. How can she convince the world she’s still special when no-one’s listening anymore? This is a comedy about a woman who has been allowed to define her identity - but not her fame. Aided by her curmudgeonly but lovable father (Vincent Franklin), a reluctant sister/PA (Selin Hizli) and a trend-chasing agent (Harry Trevaldwyn), Grace will do anything to climb the showbiz ladder and reach the level of fame she knows she deserves. Who needs dignity when you’ve got attention? Written and Created by Jordan Gray Cast: Grace/Hacker ..... Jordan Gray Dad ..... Vincent Franklin Toadie .....
