Description

Would you watch the worst things on the internet for a living? Written by Rebekah King, this award-winning play follows two former social-media moderators on a mission to sue the company that exposed them to the most disturbing corners of the web. Based on real accounts, Moderation explores the hidden human toll of moderating the platforms we rely on. Winner of the CUADC Playwriting Award and co-winner of the Cambridge Creatives Playwriting Award, this gripping and thought-provoking show is a must-see for anyone who has ever wondered about the price we pay for a safer online experience.

Every now and then you’re lucky enough to stumble across an enthralling piece of drama where the relationship portrayed is so convincing you simply forget it’s theatre. Go see Moderation and be moved, charmed, disturbed and left with an ache in your heart that will stay with you for far too long.

My favourite show that I’ve seen at the Fringe! Very cleverly put together, well paced and fantastic script writing brought to life by incredible acting. The elements of comedy and lightheartedness veiling the darker central topic makes it an enjoyable watch, that packs a powerful punch of emotion and feeling! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 would watch again!!
