The play begins with a tweet and quickly expands into a sharp, funny, and tense examination of race, colourism, and what happens when internet performance spills into real life. It is written by Jasmine Lee-Jones and performed here by Iolanthe and Chika Ikogwe.

Direction

Co-directed by Zindzi Okenyo and Shari Sebbens, with lighting by Kate Baldwin, sound by Kim "Busty Beatz" Bowers, and production design by Keerthi Subramanyam.

My role

I designed the audio visual layer for the production, contributing to how the digital world of the play sat inside the live theatrical space.
