"There's me 'out there,' in public, and there's me in here. I know you think they're not the same. But they're not as far away as you think."
Description
- Full Length Play
- Drama
- Time Period: Present Day
Weaving a complex web of fame and shame, Cacophony explores the power social media has to liberate brave new voices and, just as quickly, bring them crashing to earth. Inspired by the ideas in Jon Ronson's book, So You've Been Publicly Shamed.
"When public shamings are delivered like remotely administered drone strikes nobody need think about how ferocious our collective power might be. The snowflake never needs to feel responsible for the avalanche."
Jon Ronson
REVIEWS:
"Molly Taylor's very fine play demonstrates (...) there can still be a terrible cost and those caught in the fury of social media backlash can sometimes be undeserving of its punishing effects."
