A slippery new thriller in which nothing is as it seems and nobody is who they are
Overview
When Ollie has his identity stolen on the internet, it’s bad enough. But soon it’s not just his online life collapsing – his real life is being stolen too. Who is the person really doing and saying these awful things? And who can Ollie trust to see the real him when the world sees him as a monster? Did the real him ever exist in the first place?
Dave Davidson has worked in the security industry for 38 years. This is his first play ever produced. Commenting on this news, playwright Dennis Kelly said; “Dave Davidson is quite simply the best playwright that this country has never produced. The fact that this is his first major production is a shocking indictment of the system. His voice genuinely has the capacity to change everything.”
