Totally Over You
Aworkshop adapted version of Mark Ravenhill's original play, TOTALLY OVER YOU explores the superficial appeal of celebrity in a world where teens can either dream of being whirled to fame by Pop Idol or of breaking down on the Jerry Springer Show. If a boy can't display the photogenic cheekbones of Brad Pitt or the publicity muscle of Pdiddy, then he'll never get the girl, and if the girl can't lose her average guy-nextdoor boyfriend, she'll never get the fame. But what's the one truth that even celebrity can't escape – what goes up, must come down…Performed by Professional/Advanced Young Actors.
Directed by Femi Oguns
