Taking Cancel Culture to an extreme, black comedy Snowflakes questions idea of morality, revenge, and justice with gleefully violent abandon.
Combining the technological nihilism of Black Mirror with the dark comedy and horror of Inside No. 9, Robert Boulton’s Offie-Nominated Snowflakes is coming to Park Theatre this spring. This critically acclaimed, award-winning (Best Production, 2021 London Pub Theatre Awards) play captures the intricacies of modern outrage and subsequent trials by social media.
Tony is standing for trial by social media, and Marcus and Sarah work for a very special start-up – they do the job people are crying out for in the comments section. In this start-up, you can outsource your rage to the professionals; justice is not blind, it’s streamed to millions. What if you could decide at the click of a button who deserves to be forgiven for their moral wrongdoings, and who deserves to die for their sins?
Snowflakes is a sci-fi black comedy that questions the potency of social media and examines how far you could go to right a wrong. This enthralling new work is presented by Dissident Theatre, a company with the goal of making theatre which confronts the base, the repressed and the ambiguous corners of the world we live in, and Chronic Insanity, an Offie Award-winning theatre company, specialising in all things digital, interactive, and immersive.
Making his writing debut, Robert Boulton (False Choices, King’s Head Theatre; Redistributors, Protest Productions) will also star in Snowflakes as Marcus, alongside Louise Hoare (Green and Pleasant Land, Arcola Theatre; Skin Tight, The Hope Theatre; Women of Paradise, Trafalgar Studios) as Sarah, and Henry Davis (Chariots of Fire, Hampstead Theatre/Gielgud Theatre; Jersey Boys, UK Tour 2014-2016; Hannah, Amazon Prime) as Tony.
