Call my narcissism whatever you want. And while you're at it; like, comment, subscribe, worship - fucking bow down.
Meet Carleen and Crystal. The influencers with cultural commentary that will have you in stitches. Love them or hate them, there's no stopping their fast-growing online following.
Offline, Carleen has her reservations about their cyber personas, but she idolises Crystal and would follow her anywhere... even to FLIP!, the new social media giant that has everyone hooked - and Carleen and Crystal are no exception; especially when it seems that their videos could make them famous.
Superstardom, followers, fame, influence, money: it's all just one click away. FLIP! is the answer to everything they've ever dreamed of. But is it too good to be true?
FLIP! is a powerful new satire from critically-acclaimed writer Racheal Ofori that probes what it means to live freely under the shadow of social media, encroaching on every aspect of our lives. How can we be our authentic selves in a world of algorithms intent on proving just how disposable we all are?
Originally produced by Fuel in association with Alphabetti Theatre and co-commissioned by Fuel and Soho Theatre, as part of Soho Six, this edition was published to coincide with the world premiere and UK tour starting in October 2023.
