Synopsis
Clickbait
Published by Oberon
1 Male 3 Female
Nicola Barker is in trouble
A video has been made, and she's the unwitting star
In a bid to stop the footage being used against her, Nicola makes a snap decision ...
To post it online herself
What started as a drunken night in a dirty club ends with a unique business opportunity for Nicola and her two sisters, changing the meaning of 'amateur porn' forever
But where there is demand, there must be supply, and as the line between empowerment and exploitation becomes blurred, public opinion begins to turn against the trio.
A darkly comic play, this is a blistering study of our attitudes to porn
And the women who make it for themselves
REVIEWS
'... as with all good theatre it leaves you with a head full of questions ... a fantastic play" ~ Everything-theare.co.uk ★★★★★
'The dark humour of the piece makes Clickbait instantly accessible ... An exploration of pornography and our attitudes towards it, Clickbait examines how relationships are put to the test and how limits are pushed in the struggle towards one woman's right to Clickbaitmake her own decisions. Bold and unnerving ... this piece hits hard' ~ TheUpcoming.co.uk
' ... Thomas's writing has a raw vitality ... Clickbait is best seen as a contemporary fable of how idealistic good intentions get bogged down both in the tricky issues of ethics and consent, and how human greed leads to unattractive corruption... The result is an evening that is both entertaining and sometimes disturbing - a good combination in contemporary new writing.' Aleks Sierz
