Online dating going from bad to worse…

6 Jun – 9 Jun &  12 Jun – 16 Jun

They meet online. He’s in IT, miserably married. He’s lonely – he turns to porn. She’s a nurse in her forties, trapped in a loop of catastrophic debt. She’s lonely – she turns to shopping. Both of them crave something else – but not necessarily each other. Take the plunge into the Too-Much-Information Age. Funny and fiercely written, Eight Gigabytes of Hardcore Pornography is a deceptively compassionate cringe-comedy of mid-life loneliness, hidden zip folders and barely concealed desperation.

How does the increasing domination of electronic interactions skew real life interactions? What does it mean to interact online? Is it possible to intentionally acquire contentment? Declan Greene humanises the emotions, insecurities, hurt and rejection harboured by online social media.

This is a beautifully written play by one of Australia’s most outstanding and multi award winning young playwrights.
