Published by Oberon
3 Male 4 Female
This is about pornography
This is an interview
This is an intervention
This is an interrogation
We're recording now
We want to pull its plug out
We want to stop its heartbeat
We want to blow its brains out and begin again
We know exactly what we're doing
We're not stupid
An unsettling, powerful new piece of theatre tackling pornography and violence against women
REVIEWS
"Bold. Thrilling. Brutally direct" ~ Time Out
"Strong. Expressive. High energy" ~ Guardian
"We Want You To Watch turns out to be about as joyous and life-affirming an experience you can have in a theatre while the world is still in the miserable shape it's in ... it makes a pretty compelling case that [pornography is] hardly the best thing in the world, and does table the more real worry that we have no idea what the effect of the super-proliferation of it will be on the world ... it's a hell of a compelling vision" ~ Andrew Haydon, Postcards from the Gods
Premiered at the UK's National Theatre, June 2015
