Synopsis

”I like the internet.

I like that way of talking to people.

It's honest.

It's a place where people are free to say anything they like.

And most of what they say is sex.”

Dani's on a mission.

She's seventeen, avoids college, hates her parents and prefers life online.

What she's looking for is someone who is honest and direct.

Instead she finds a man twice her age, who thinks she is an eleven-year-old boy.

The play premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2003.
