bin room (2024)

​

the lives of two twenty-somethings take a surreal turn when they become prisoners inside the waste disposal room of a bougie flat. to escape, they must unravel the mystery surrounding their closest friend—an enigmatic influencer whose dark secret is about to get her cancelled.

​

bin room is my first play. it's an hour-long dark comedy/mystery about racial imposter syndrome, toxic friends, fetishisation, and online identities.

 

it asks: what are the ethical responsibilities of social media personalities in terms of transparency, authenticity, and the potential impact on audiences, and how can these responsibilities be enforced in a constantly-evolving digital landscape? to what extent do we protect our friends, and how does this influence our decision-making and morality?
