JOY NESBITT
Am i the a**hole?
Written by Dafe Orugbo
All rise. The Court of Public Opinion is now in session.
Can you ever wear white to a wedding? Does replying ‘k’ constitute emotional abuse? Should fuckboys pay emotional reparations?
And seriously, who gets the dog in the breakup? You’re invited to a courtroom drama like you’ve never seen before. Satirical, comedic and experimental, this show turns the theatre-going experience into a game of cunning and manipulation.
Select your role as a member of the jury or the public audience in this immersive performance where the collective gets to decide: who is the a**hole? Am I The A**hole? is a brand-new piece of immersive event theatre, where audiences have some very important decisions to make. They can choose to be a member of the audience that sees the story unfold in its entirety, or they can opt to be a potential juror, going through a jury selection process and give a verdict on who’s the a**hole.
