Live@TheLibrary: guinea pig

‘They’re saying that we’re guinea pigs, that we are growing up trapped, like in a laboratory. But everyone’s trapped by something. It’s what you make of the cage that counts.‘

It’s 2028, on the eve of a referendum that might change young people’s lives forever.

Tomorrow the country decides if smartphones should be banned for under 16’s and a group of young people are preparing for the impact whilst trying to live their lives, in all its brilliant, messy and terrifying glory.

Who defines you? Who decides your story, influences your choices, the way the world sees you? Are you in control?

This original heartwarming pop rock musical explores what it means to grow up against the backdrop of a technological revolution and is fuelled by humour, hashtags and heartbreak.
