ABOUT THE PLAY
This play is a thematically connected series of scenes that explore what it means to connect with other humans in the digital age. The rapid expansion of media technology over the last few decades means that we are more connected to each other than we have ever been, while simultaneously we find ourselves increasingly fractured and isolated. There are over 50 short scenes, which may be presented out of order, and over 100 characters, with no specifics in terms of casting.
This production seeks to assemble as diverse a cast as possible – people of all ages, abilities and performance experience are encouraged to audition. We also want to explicitly invite people with identities not normally seen on Castlemaine stages to participate.
This volunteer production is one we hope can bring people from the Mount Alexander Shire community together. We are looking for people both with and without experience in theatre, in the hope that we can build a community of participants that mirrors the rich and diverse community we live in.
