Lottie has always been that all-star student who’s everyone's best friend. Fresh out of college, she’s determined to change the world and make a difference. But when she's killed at her internship in Afghanistan, the internet threatens to tear her memory apart. As fangirls, rubberneckers, pseudo-friends, trolls and her own social media fuel the digital storm, Lottie's friends will struggle over how and who gets to tell her story, and what her legacy should be. #yourmemorial is a play about what we choose to remember, what we refuse to see, and what it means to be real in the Facebook age.
#yourmemorial was first developed with Middle Voice at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, and was also developed as part of the Primary Stages ESPA Drills program.
This production is a part of SubletSeries@HERE: a curated rental program, which provides artists with subsidized space and equipment, as well as technical support.
