Written and performed by Seerat Jhajj with Maya O' Day, The Gay Social Network is a one-woman comedy and theatre show that analyses the downfall of democracy through the lens of a queer love story. It follows Mark Zuckerberg's rise to power as a closeted gay man who hates women, blind to his soft-boy best friend Eduardo Saverin's feelings for him. The show asks whether accepting his homosexuality sooner might have led to inner peace and true love — rather than a crusade to become a billionaire with evil Justin Timberlake by his side. It runs for 50 minutes at Haldane Theatre and is for audiences aged 18 and over.
Why see this show?
A bold and sharply funny one-woman show that reframes a famous cultural origin story as a repressed queer love story. It combines comedy, theatre and LGBTQ+ storytelling in a way that is genuinely original and unexpectedly moving.
