We’re working on an experiment in digital theatre with our friends at The LIFT Festival July 25th!
PEEK A BOO
Vixens, voyeurs and spies collide in a world where every conversation is being recorded, every phone is tapped and the watchers are always watching. PEEK A BOO is an experiment that uses Google Hangouts On Air to perform live theatre with an international cast streamed to a global audience. San Francisco theatre company elastic future weaves together actors from New York, London and Beirut to bring you the story of two computer programmers, one webcam girl and the spies who can’t look away.
25th July at 8pm GMT / 12 PST. 30 minute work-in-progress performance followed by 30 minute discussion. Catch the event here: http://bit.ly/18NDiS3

Work in Progress
Man: when it starts to hurt let’s sing something…
Ellie: It’s going to hurt?
Man: I think so… I wanted to feel it just a little. We’ll be awake for a while at least. I think it’ll be fast though.
Ellie: I don’t want to go yet.
Man: I know. Me too.
Ellie: I wish I had a biscuit. I can’t really eat, just to hold you know… warm.
Man: That’s a great wish (pause) I wish we still had a dog
Ellie: I wish for infinity wishes
Man: We’d never have to work again
Ellie: early retirement
Man: that’s us
(short pause)
Ellie: I want to sing something sweet really sweet
Man: Should we sing I Will Follow You into the Dark?
Ellie: But that’s like exactly about this… is it weird?
Man: There’s a song about everything
Ellie: Should we sing something happy?
Man: I don’t think we can sing anything happy
Ellie: yeah
Man: we should wait though.
Ellie: until it hurts.
Man: yeah
(short pause)
Ellie: who was your best lover?
Man: you
