In an empty newspaper office, a frustrated journalist swears at his laptop. It’s the weekend, the lights are on a timer, and the server is down – but at least it’s quiet. At least, until another journalist bumps into the dark room and confronts him.
This new play by SA theatre team Safari Street Creative dares to question our current relationship with the media, where we no longer care about truth, and we consume it voraciously for entertainment, not for information.
This is a play that challenges how we’ve accepted the way the world has evolved. It tells you bluntly that you’re complicit, and long after the loud voices no longer echo around the theatre, the intellectual volume remains at ten: you’re still thinking about this the day after.
