Recommended for ages 14+
I Wish I Was Lonely is a participatory show about contactability.
A show in which the audience commit to leaving their phones on.
A show investigating what it means to participate in communication – or not.
There will be poems, there will be stories and there will be conversation.
I Wish I Was Lonely is the new show from Hannah Jane Walker and Chris Thorpe (following 2011’s The Oh F*ck Moment) that asks how much of ourselves we've given up to the new Gods in our pockets.
Co-commissioned by ARC, Writers Centre Norwich and Norwich Arts Centre
Supported by Arts Council England and Escalator East to Edinburgh.
Developed at Cambridge Junction, Warwick Arts Centre, BIOS and Forest Fringe.
