A world consumed by disaster leaves people turning to technology seeking vicarious pleasure in others' experiences.
Sound familiar? While the world portrayed in Opolis, an original production at Newcastle's Alphabetti Theatre, might be a little grimmer than our own, its parallels to our reality aren't hard to spot.
The two-person 'sci-fi psychological thriller', written and directed by Alphabetti's artistic director Ali Pritchard, presents a society living in the aftermath of an unspecified 'crisis', where people trade in their pre-crisis memories to be experienced by others, those who've only known the world in its dystopian state.
