CASTING APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN FOR THE LATEST PRODUCTION BY LOST THEATRE.
Exposure by Patrick Wilde
Directed by Oliver Jack
"In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes."
So said Andy Warhol in 1968. He was responding to the growing power of television, but what he couldn’t have forseen is the power of the internet, of Twitter and Facebook, where everyone has an opinion, everyone is published and we all break the news.
Under the direction of our Director in Residence, Oliver Jack, LOST presents the first public previews of Patrick Wilde’s black comedy about the ultimate modern bet.
In a world of rolling news, phone hacking, tabloid sleaze, X Factor and Big Brother, in this confused, celebrity-obsessed, news-obsessed, fame-obsessed century, who is controlling what we think, need or want?
How far would you go to be famous?
How far would you go to get revenge?
How far is too far….
INFORMATION AND ABOUT THE CASTING
PLAY INFORMATION
Patrick Wilde's first new play for ten years is a fast-paced black comedy which looks at our fame and celebrity obsessed culture. A modern day Les Liaisons Dangereuses, this tale of revenge and ruthless ambition begins with a sinister and Faustian wager between two powerful media players which has both comic and tragic consequences for some decent and ordinary people

eight. Although there are two lead characters, the other actors
will play more than one character so everyone will be involved in the
