Description
IRL by Lewis Treston is fairytale meets fanfiction in the quest for ‘happily ever after’, and a fierce and funny reflection of what it means to be a teenager searching for friendship, love, acceptance and trying to find your community.
SYNOPSIS
Alexei and his long-time internet crush, Thaddeus, are about to meet IRL (in real life) at the Supanova pop culture convention. Then, in a moment of regrettable self-sabotage, Alexei assumes a false identity to test the authenticity of his would-be boyfriend. But when Alexei’s celebrity best friend Taylor begins channelling the anti-capitalist vigilante superhero she plays on TV, the thin line between fantasy and reality wiggles wildly out of control
PRODUCTION HISTORY
IRL premiered at the La Boite Roundhouse Theatre on the 8th of November, 2023.
