  3. Right to be Forgotten


The Internet never forgets. A young mans mistake at 17 haunts him online a decade later. Desperate for a normal life, he goes to extraordinary lengths to erase his indiscretion. But freedom of information is big business, and the tech companies arent going down without a fight. Secrets, lies and political backstabbing abound in this riveting new drama about one mans fierce battle to reclaim his right to privacy. Playwright Sharyn Rothstein (By The Water, USA Networks Suits), winner of the prestigious 2015 Primus Prize and whose work has been called touching & affecting (New York Times), has written a striking allegory about privacy, social media and human forgiveness in the age of the internet.

While there’s truth in that, it’s also a little dissatisfying, as life itself often is.
