“Orwin takes on social media and the dynamics of public performance with a lightness of touch that seems almost perverse – until its meaty, knotty innards leave you reeling.”
The Independent
“All at once it’s light and amusing, but also sinister and dystopian, a portrait of humanity as it desperately tries to wring love and affirmation from the machine.”
David Pollock, The Scotsman
“This is urgent, powerful and frightening theatre performed with courage, precision and clarity of purpose—it’s also genuinely entertaining!”
