Super Connected LIVE

R n R ★★★★

Is it time to break up with our phones?


A stage adaptation of the critically acclaimed album by indie rock polymath Tim Arnold, ‘Super Connected’ is a Black Mirror-esque show fusing film, live music, theatre and the ticking time bomb of social media & big tech.



As the film rolls, Arnold performs on stage & screen accompanied by pianist Sarah Kershaw (The Irrepressibles). With the scale of Radiohead & panache of Bowie, Super Connected LIVE is a digital-age take on the silent movie. With narration by Stephen Fry.

Full of wit, wisdom & terror, the show explores a family’s struggle with technology addiction.



Being pulled in & out of the screen by the attention-grabbing characters, Arnold grapples with what connection & intimacy mean in a digitally distracted world.

Lock your phones in our pouches, pocket them, & break free from the digital grind before the show! Join us after for a Screenless Social to chat with each other & the creative team.

“A lush, dynamic, and dramatic piece about the enslavement and surveillance of our phone and computer screens”
