On Stage at the Theater: «Two Tracks and Text Me»

The Guardian has a (poor) review of a new play at West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds, entitled «Two Tracks and Text Me», by Sol B. River, a technological thriller where the cast sends each text messages onstage.

"A young girl held captive and abused sends a desperate text-message to a stranger she hopes can help her. A hip mixed-race gang of friends receive the call, but seem to take an awfully long time to do anything about it.

A number allows the audience to text their responses after the show.

Another (devestating) review here, gives more insight into the plot. Of note: contains strong language.
