Late Night Staring at High Res Pixels is a new play repurposed for online viewing from the OFFIE winning creative team behind SCROUNGER.
The first of the Finborough Theatre’s #FinboroughForFree original online content.
Two women. One photograph. A young woman sends a topless selfie to her boyfriend as a bit of flirtatious fun. When he shows it to his best friend for a laugh, he can’t imagine her having any other reaction. But what starts out as a joke soon turns into an accusation of something much darker. At what point does admiration become a form of control? How do we say ‘stop’ when it becomes apparent that we are complicit in hurting other women? If someone you know to be a good person, starts to prove themselves otherwise, how do you walk away?
Late Night Staring at High Res Pixels explores the issue of assumed consent and how it contributes to a culture of complicity and control towards women. Men have long held power in relationships with tools that have no name; this story aims to identify those methods.
Streaming on the Finborough Theatre's YouTube channel and with subtitles via Scenesaver's YouTube channel.
