Chatroom

The six teenagers in Chatroom never meet each other, they just communicate via the internet; conversations range in subject from Britney Spears to Willy Wonka to suicide. Jim is depressed and talks of ending his life and Eva and William do their utmost to pursuade him to carry out his threat. From this chilling premise Enda Walsh has forged a funny, compelling and uplifting play which tackles some of the issues of teenage life head-on and with great understanding. "Chatroom" was first seen as part of the "Shell Connections" series at the National Theatre in London in 2005. This play contains strong language.

"An impressive number of themes... handled in commendably non-dogmatic style... A triumph." - London Evening Standard

"One of the most thrillingly enjoyable evenings I've had in the theatre" - Sunday Times

"Punchy, provocative" - The Independent

"Enda Walsh's Chatroom is a winner... This is a clever, funny, discomforting piece to make audiences of all ages think." - The Observer
