Bubble by Kieran Hurley
Directed by Emma Callander and Hannah Price
Produced by Theatre Uncut with support from The Space
Performed by students from universities from 6 universities across Europe.
Bubble is set entirely on facebook and written partly in emoji. It tracks the snowball of events following the moment a male lecturer calls a female student a slut. It explores freedom of speech in university communities and the nature of online debate. Over 200,000 people viewed the play online within the first week of its release.
“a brilliant and unsettling piece of screen drama, which takes the idea of social media as an arena for dramatic writing to impressive new heights” the Scotsman
