1800-REAL-TALK

“Tonight’s telephonic battle royale is brought to you by 1800-REAL-TALK: get real, get real talk.”

Presented as a part of The Human Voice, this deranged short play combines HR conflicts, call centres, and a wrestling match (all in ten minutes) to explore our collective rage in the age of hyper-connection.

Produced by Periscope Productions at the Meat Market Stables. Directed by Benjamin Sheen. Designed by Eloise Kent. Cast: Alex Hines and Mason Phoumirath.

“Lewis Treston’s 1800-RealTalk constructs a hyperreal wrestling match between a call-centre counsellor (Mason Phoumirath) and an outraged lawyer (Alex Hines).” The Age.
