Like binge-watching a season of MTV’s Catfish on acid, Henry Charnock’s ambitious new comedic drama ¿Rob or Rose? leaves us with the question, “what if reality … just isn’t that sensitive?”
The play’s ouroboros-like, time-loop cycle of scenes sees its characters waiting to meet an online love for the first time. Every time they think they’ve reached the end though, like a snake eating its own tail, they find themselves back at the beginning again. What will have changed each time they have to start over? Will Rob still listen to Joe Rogan? Will Rose still secretly be into water sports? And will they both remember the words to one of the world’s whitest raps?
