r/Conspiracy is a solo play written and performed by Ella Hällgren, directed by Emma Ruse. The show follows Alex, who falls into a rabbit hole after spotting a Reddit thread about a man with a machete in her local park. As she digs deeper, the mystery pulls her further in. The piece is billed as a virtual mystery romp for the chronically online — a timely, comedic exploration of what the internet does to our sense of reality. It is performed at the Ruby venue and carries content warnings for distressing themes and strong language.
Why see this show?
A sharp, funny and uncomfortably recognisable piece about life lived online. Ella Hällgren's solo performance captures the particular anxiety of the internet rabbit hole in a way that will land with anyone who has ever gone too deep into a Reddit thread.
