Overview

I...think I mistake correspondence for contact sometimes. During the course of a routine shift on the content moderation floor of an unnamed social media company, Alan and Alannah, two moderators, will have their lives forever altered when a particular video appears on their screens for deletion. A video that sends them on a pulsating search for answers. Alan and Alannah will journey through Arizona eulogies, the comments section and parts of Naas only to unearth… even further questions. A darkly comic new play that blends multimedia, movement and live illustration, Content is the story of the unseen people who are charged with scooping up the sum total of our daily online toxic waste. Armed with a teaspoon. The play was published to coincide with the world premiere at Dublin Theatre Festival in October 2024.
