Reality Bites by Jamie Christian
8 - 20 July 2025
What happens when you get naked on Reality TV?
​
Reality Bites tells the story of four strangers whose lives change after an extreme dating show airs on Christmas Eve.
The Bystander, The Employer, The Lover, and (of course!) The Contestant tell their stories in a series of interconnected monologues, each one spiralling closer and closer to heartbreak…and worse.
A funny, dark, hard hitting commentary on our curated lives.
"A superb new play which looks at how reality TV interacts with actual reality once the show has aired.” - My Fair Theatregoer
