Commenting on the play, the cast said;

“It is a breath of fresh air to read a play that is so playful with both form and spelling.” Priyanga Burford
When Ollie has his identity stolen on the internet, it’s bad enough. But soon it’s not just his online life collapsing – his real life is being stolen too. Who is the person really doing and saying these awful things? And who can Ollie trust to see the real him when the world sees him as a monster? Did the real him ever exist in the first place?
A slippery new thriller in which nothing is as it seems and nobody is who they are.
We are aware that there has been a lot of interest in the playwright. The playwright remains highly security conscious and therefore there will be no further comment.
