15 Minutes of Shame at ZOO (Playground 2), High School Yard, Edinburgh

15 Minutes of Shame is a biting comedy infused with raw drama, written by investigative journalist Sean Stillmaker, exploring the escalating cost of monetising intimacy in the digital age. The play follows HER, performed by Ellen Pallant, and HIM, performed by Anton Bibby, as a young London couple facing financial insecurity who turn to OnlyFans in pursuit of fame, only to find their real-world connection fracturing as their subscriber base grows. Directed by Adébayo Bolaji, the play charts the couple's descent into digital sex content creation, exposing the emotional, psychological and relational costs of self-commodification, including debanking, deplatforming and the long-term impact on mental health. Grounded in extensive research into the hidden economics of content creation, the play speaks to a generation navigating unprecedented economic and social pressure in an increasingly digital world.
