subText

by Tyler Dwiggins

Even though everybody on the planet is just a text away, getting your message across has never been more complicated. subText is a hilarious series of vignettes detailing the awkwardness of dating in the digital age, from capturing the perfect selfie to making a relationship Facebook official. At its heart, subText is a reminder that "love is a lot of things, but it is rarely a thing of convenience."

Reviews

[Shawn Deal · Rating 4 out of 5]

Here is a very interesting play about social media and how we communicate. The message is good, strong and clear, the delivery might be a bit shaky at times, as I am uncertain that everything really works. This will need a very capable director to really infuse this play with a visually element to help the story along.
