Seventeen-year-old Karya is stuck in the limbo of her brother's unexplained disappearance, and when her mother's outrageous theory gains traction, she and her best friend bait the darkest corners of the internet to test it. Melis Aker's play is sharp, tensely funny and tender about grief, girlhood and games that go too far. It begins its run this weekend, so this is your first chance to catch a new voice before the reviews.
What to expect
A contemporary play mixing dark comedy and suspense as a teen and her best friend run an online experiment that spirals into something sinister. Early performances are previews ahead of the official opening, and the run includes post-show gatherings and a talkback hosted by Noor Theatre.
