A dark comedy about an internet troll who becomes a real one.
A comedic send-up of fairy tales like THE FROG PRINCE or BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, the radio play TROLL is about an internet troll who’s turned into an actual troll and must make a feminist fall in love with him to free himself from the curse. The holidays are a time for redemption stories – think Scrooge or the Grinch. And what better villain of our modern era than an internet troll?
RADIO HOUR is a co-production between Salt Lake City’s Plan-B Theatre Company and the University of Utah’s Public Radio station KUER’s Radio West.
