The 19-year-old, who is also producing the play, said: "I have just finished a foundation diploma at East 15, and I have been looking at drama schools, but I will probably take a gap year this year.

"I wanted to put on a fun and light-hearted show as the industry has really struggled during the pandemic.

"I wanted to do something supportive and hopefully lots of people come down and support the industry.

"I am producing it and acting in it, my friend is directing it.

"It is a two person play, myself and one other person

"Someone described the play as 1984 meets Twitter.

"It is a really fun play, it looks at how we can communicate with few words and the effects of lack of communication

"Come down if you want to have a laugh and a good time."
