Remote by Orange Tree Theatre Young Company

by Stef Smith
A girl called Antler steps out of her front door and throws her phone on the ground. She stamps on it. She then climbs the tallest tree in the park.

She doesn’t want to be found, not by anyone. Seven teenagers’ lives all intertwine over the course of a single evening as they make their way through the park on a seemingly normal Autumn’s night.Remote is a play about protest, power and protecting yourself.
