Empress ClawScream
Róisín's old friend is coming back out to play
27 mins
When gawky Irish teenager Róisín has to tell her best friend Jess that she loves her, she receives help from an unusual source - the cartoon villainess 'Empress ClawScream'. Set in the early 1990s, Empress ClawScream is an LGBTQ+ rom-com where regional sci-fi conventions, 1980s cartoon crazes, Riot Grrrl feminism, and first love all collide in spectacular fashion.
