This show belongs to the Adelaide Fringe 2022 season. This season is now over.

Facebook lies beaten on the ground. Snap Chat is trying to raise themselves up. Others are scattered on the ground, chairs are everywhere.
The character of Facebook is about to be assaulted by the other colourful social media characters SnapChat, Tik Tok and Twitter. He is surrounded by them as they close in on him. They are all wearing outrageous and weird costumes.
