About This Event

Playback is a tragicomic drama at Summerhall. The play is drawn from Scottish experiences and explores the realities of growing up online and the predatory nature of the internet.

Exploring the sinister, predatory underbelly of the internet and the realities of growing up online, Playback is a tragicomic drama drawn from Scottish writer and performer Euan Munro’s lived experience as a YouTuber between the ages of 10 and 14. Shortlisted for the 2024 David MacLennan Award, the show combines live performance with footage from Euan’s original, often painfully awkward YouTube videos, blending past and present into a deeply personal and sharply comic story. What begins as a cringe-filled comedy nostalgia trip gradually darkens into something more unsettling, raising urgent questions about internet safety, digital consent, and the shadows cast by early online exposure.
