It’s true - the more things change the more they stay the same! Take six characters from classic plays, give them each a mobile and a laptop and let them loose on today’s modern world.
2 b or nt 2 b takes characters from Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Midsummer Night’s Dream, Chekhov’s Three Sisters and The Seagull, Sophocles’ Antigone and Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler. But has anything really changed for today’s modern teens? Hamlet and Antigone have disyfunctional families, Helena and Masha moon over unattainable boys and Irena and Hedda feel trapped in their boring lives. As present day teenagers they all end up on whatsthepoint.com, a website for those searching for meaning in life – and the play follows their plans to meet up.
