Are You Watching?

Written by Georgie Dettmer.

The show

'He undresses. He stands behind the camera and presses record. He approaches.' 

Porn. Deepfakes. Disappearing girls. A journalist wired to a machine. A mother’s grief sold for clicks.

As the lines blur between entertainment and abuse, technology and sex, violence and voyeurism - who’s complicit and who is in control? And are you watching?

Georgie Dettmer makes her professional playwriting debut with this world premiere. 

Genesis Next Generation at The Royal Court - A Genesis Foundation Project. 

Supported by the Concord Theatricals Unpublished Playwrights Award.

Are You Watching? began as a spontaneous expulsion of anger and resistance. After submitting to the Royal Court, they took a chance on me and my work, and supported the development of this play into something which I hope offers fresh provocations to the nature of watching and being watched in the information age.
