Description
Seventeen-year-old Jack's life is on the verge of a perfect trajectory. His parents have devoted themselves to giving him every opportunity, and he is smart, outgoing, and on track to study Law at Durham University. However, a shocking incident outside the school gates threatens to upend everything they've worked for. As events unfold, Di and David start to question who they can trust - their son, his friends, or themselves. In a world where smartphones are ubiquitous, a new technology offers insidious opportunities. Nothing dies online, except reputation. This provocative drama throws a light on the darker side of new technology, where the consequences of our actions can be devastating. First performed at Hampstead Theatre's Downstairs space in 2014, Four Minutes Twelve Seconds is a thought-provoking exploration of the challenges of trust and identity in the digital age.
