OFFLINE
Gothenburg English Studio Theatre
15-year-old Ali is missing. The police are involved, the entire school are searching.
What exactly do the parents know? Why do the school computers keep crashing?....and who is Umi, the social media phenomenon and the girl everyone wants to be?
Offline is a thriller that talks about freedom of information and our identity. Online you can be whoever you want to be - if you're not satisfied with your life, create a new one. But what happens when it all gets out of control? #FindAli
Created by: Kristina Brändén Whitaker, Elizabeth Neale + James Hogg.
