Dark Play: or Stories for Boys is a dramatic retelling of a 2003 news article out of Britain where a young teenage boy Catfishes another boy on the internet. This leads to a dangerous manipulation of the two boys understanding of love and sexual desire ending in physical harm. The physical action onstage is seen through the lens of a third character Rachel who is the catfisher Nick’s supposed persona. The challenge of this play was how to represent digital interaction through the lens of live performance and we achieved this with a mixture of visual obstruction/projection on a plastic screen surface that stretched across the stage, as well as the familiar dial up sounds present in early 2000’s computers.
