A play about privacy, trust, and transparency in modern relationships and the age of hyper-communication. Find My Friends follows Hattie as she tries to make rent while her roommate, Sage, becomes involved with someone they knew back in college (someone Hattie didn’t totally like love but it's totally fine). Location tracking gives way to some quasi-obsessive behavior as Hattie hops on the chat boards to make some extra cash where she is visited by self-help queens. This play asks us to consider what it means when technology interferes with our interpersonal relationships and our sense of self.
