2018 By Josh Overton This play was commissioned as part of TEN and first performed in March 2019 by 55 members of Hull Truck Theatre’s Young Company. TEN featured 10 ten-minute plays, each based on a year in the decade since Hull Truck Theatre moved in to its Ferensway home. This play was inspired by 2018 and the challenge of remaining optimistic in politically uncertain times. Plot This play follows three friends as they attempt to stream a television episode online. Notes: Recommended for 14+. This play contains bad language. If you see a character name on the left, then the dialogue on the right should be spoken by that character. Text in [brackets] or italics describes what the audience sees or hears on stage that
isn’t dialogue. About the playwright: Josh Overton is a playwright, poet and bartender in that order.
