Mark! A Speculative History of Facebook

ghoul jeans productions · Ages 13+ · 90 mins

world premiere

A new comic tragedy in the Shakespearean tradition! A fictionalized Mark Zuckerberg, wracked with guilt, decides to use his site’s awesome power to help humanity. But can social media be used for good? Can a billionaire truly be a humanitarian? Do the ends justify the means? “Mark!” engages these questions and more, in five acts of pentametric verse. It’s about ambition, disinformation, corruption, and income inequality. Rest easy, though, gentle reader: like the best Shakespeare, it also has violence and dick jokes, plus a robot butler and a t-shirt cannon.
