Tinylife is life on-line: life in the myriad virtual worlds of chatrooms, websites, MUDs, and online communities where everything is coded, nothing is real, nothing is true or false, and everything, at one level or another, is pornographic. Described as "a clown show for the 21st century", Tinylife is set in a soulless office cubicle of the vast and sprawling Corporation Corp., and the play imagines what would happen if the personalities people create in emails and online chatrooms were suddenly set loose in our real-world lives. The play uses a fast-paced, commedia-based performance style to reach beyond the artificial surfaces and intuitive interfaces of contemporary life and explores a tech-savvy modern world of contradiction, alienation, randomness, metaphor and escape.
