Putting It All Out There with Overshare
Description
Back at the very start of 2023 Eleanor Hill spoke to us about Sad-vents, a show we called "visually impressive" in our 4 star review. In the two years since, she's been rather busy. After her run at VAULT Festival, she then took the show to Edinburgh. And then started to work on her new show, Overshare. Oh and found time for some neurosurgery after expeirencing a medical emergency!
Overshare explores the realities of mental health & trauma in the age of social media, but with the same humour that made Sad-vents such a powerful show. It also incorporates much of the same technical genuis of its predecessor, with the whole show performed to her phone instead of the audience, and livestreamed on screens behind her.
We chat with Eleanor about how much of Sad-vents has found its way into Overshare, whether there's the worry that the technology will overshadow everything else, and why the aim isn't to try to tell us what's wrong with social media, but rather to generate conversations in the bar after the show.
Overshare comes to Greenwich Theatre from Tuesday 6 - Saturday 25 May.
