Joshua Kaplan’s play starts with an amusing conceit: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are staging an intervention to force an end to what one calls JK Rowling’s “transphobic bullshit” on X. They meet the Harry Potter author in a swanky London restaurant, hoping to reach if not agreement, then at least a cessation of hostilities.
It begins with noise: a social-media cacophony of voices drowning each other out. Kaplan’s play is an attempt to cut through the din; to see if a reasonable conversation is possible about a polarising topic.
