Someone Else by David McGovern

Someone Else challenges the unfettered drive towards progress and the erosion of human value by asking what’s lost, and what cannot be replaced. An experimental play performed by Liam Bixby, Lise-Ann McLaughlin, Venus Patel and Lorcan Strain, Someone Else is a show that attests to the importance of mischief and play

To the backdrop of overconsumption, disposability and impermanence, Someone Else offers audiences a moment of mooring. It can feel that human value is diminishing by the day, that those holding the cards are doing everything they can to stop us looking each other in the eye. We offer a sliver of hope amidst this weight; proposing that an antidote to disposability might just be a stubborn refusal to go quietly.
