YOU’VE GOT MAIL

Meg Ryan is looking for love on the internet. She finds a kind and thoughtful stranger in a chat room and instantly engages in flirty repartee. This show appears to be a rom-com—it looks and feels like a rom-com, and we know and love these endearing 90s heavyweights, right? Wrong. So very wrong.

The plot spirals, genre bends, and a camp, uncanny parody begins. Authentic human connection is impossible, Meg can’t stop thinking about cybersex, and Tom’s getting more and more crazed. Reality gets left in the dust. Part performance art, part theatre, You’ve Got Mail is a tight hour of laughs, so-bad-they’re-good Hollywood tropes, and cyberfeminism.

You’ve Got Mail has enjoyed seasons at Bondi Feast from 17 - 19 July 2018, Griffin Theatre Company’s Batch Festival from 26 - 27 April 2019, and Summer Nights at The Blue Room Theatre in Perth from 11 - 15 February 2020.
