Overview
“Who is that?”
“Harry”
“He’s my favourite.”
“I think he’s everyone’s favourite.”
Caitlin and Sophie meet at university and quickly
become best friends. United by their love of crisp sandwiches and the latest X
Factor sensation, One Direction, they plaster the walls of their room with
pictures of the band’s charismatic heartthrob, Harry Styles. But over time, the
obsession that initially brings them together starts to have more damaging
effects.
Harry is a play about friendship and fandom, exploring the
impact on young people of a celebrity-obsessed, Twitter-fuelled culture where
fantasy and reality are dangerously close.
