It’s a show in which the audience commit to leaving their phones on. A show investigating what it means to participate in communication – or not. There are poems, there are stories and there is conversation. I Wish I Was Lonely sees Hannah Jane Walker and Chris Thorpe ask how much of ourselves we’ve given up to the new gods in our pockets.
