HE SAID SHE SAID
By Magero Otieno-Magero
“If that video gets out it could ruin my world”
Encouraged by Denise, Kayla posts a snap with Yusuf to make Dre want her, but when it goes viral social rumour turns into dangerous reality.
He Said She Said fuses dialogue, verse and drill exploring how social media platforms can be used and misused to share information and escalate conflict.
Synergy Theatre Project works across theatre and the criminal justice system. He Said She Said is performed and stage managed by a company of professionals and ex-prisoners.
