Notes

General
The screen presentation uses a variety of visual techniques to explore the social media landscape, including multi-panel split screens and shifting aspect ratios. The recording combined on-stage shooting during performances, shots made using body-mounted GoPro cameras and mobile phones. To reflect this approach the directing credit has been split between Blanche McIntyre, Todd MacDonald, Hayley Pepler and John Wyver.
History
The production originally ran from 16 August to 8 October 2022.
