BLOGGERS: REAL INTERNET DIARIES is a new, non-fiction play about baring all in public.
In bedrooms, boardrooms and cafes, Britain’s bloggers reveal all on-line. Thousands of new blogs are created every day. Most aren't worth your attention. These are… An agoraphobic sex chat-line operator. A nymphomaniac mum of three. A predatory queen… Writer-director Oliver Mann has sifted through hundreds of blogs to compile the most darkly comic, engaging personal diaries into a rapidly-paced play. Like other hit ‘verbatim theatre’ shows (The Vagina Monologues, The Exonerated, My Name Is Rachel Corrie), all the material used to in the play is 100% real… You never really know someone until you've seen their diary.
