With spoken word styling, their fast-and-sharp tweet readings are synchronised with sashaying grace, groovin’ high-definition moves and the high-octane AI thrumming of a chain of identical emojis: hahahahahahahahahaha. As director, for the Royal Court: Baghdaddy, Maryland, seven methods of killing kylie jenner, Living Newspaper, My White Best Friend (and Other Letters Left Unsaid), This Liquid Earth: A Eulogy in Verse [Edinburgh International Festival], Half Full (& RWCMD), Dismantle This Room. Jasmine Lee-Jones won multiple awards for her debut play directed by Milli Bhatia including the Evening Standard and Critics’ Circle Most Promising Playwright Awards, and the Alfred Fagon Award. She originally developed as a writer through the Royal Court Theatre’s Young Court programme as part of their commitment to nurturing new voices.

The creative team for seven methods of killing kylie jenner on stage includes: Rajha Shakiry (Designer), Jessica Hung Han Yun and Amy Mae (Co-Lighting Designers), Elena Peña (Sound Designer), Delphine Gaborit (Movement Director), Jemima Robinson (Associate Designer) and Shereen Hamilton (Assistant Director). Both Henlon and Bannon truly excel in their roles. Henlon brings a raw grit and determination to the character of Cleo, while ensuring she remains likeable. Bannon delivers clever one-liners, which make the audience laugh out loud. Their easy banter in the first section, and later, the hurt they display when recounting upsetting situations in the past feels so genuine, it is easy to forget that we are watching a play. Taking the blessing of community connections to the next level, Seven Methods of Killing Kylie Jenner at the Malthouse Theatre comes with post-show Vyb Nyts. Ambient lights, DJs, performances and delicious food make for the perfect atmosphere to pay homage to women, education, creativity, intelligence and the joy of being part of the brethren. This is a desperately topical play that wears the politics of gender, identity and race on its sleeve – sometimes too much so. Cleo and Kara openly debate the issues and while they deliver hard-hitting messages, it sometimes feels as if the characters have stepped outside the drama to comment on the world. And despite the intrigue of the title, it feels fairly plotless and sometimes static, even though Lee-Jones’s dialogue is acerbic and entertaining.

Meta? Maybe. Seven Methods of Killing Kylie Jenner (Public Theater to Jan 22) is the kind of title guaranteed to make the internet foam in fury, should the invisible world of anger aggregators alight upon it and do their thing. The subject of Jasmine Lee-Jones’ brilliant play, directed by Milli Bhatia, is about the same—the deliberate act of propagating anger on the internet to nourish one’s own notoriety and sense of importance, and the human and other results of doing so. As associate movement director, theatre includes: Pinocchio (National); The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (National & International tours); Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (West End). Iolanthe, who saw the show twice in Sydney, says the play’s “provocative and beautiful text” does more than empower or educate audiences, it encourages people to gather afterwards and talk.

In some ways, the downward spiral of the tweet from witty callout to unbridled mess isjust a vehicle forthe friendship of Cleo and Karato play out in. It’s one rooted in chaos, strengthened in conflict and underpinned by a deep, clawing love. Under Sebbens’ deft direction, even in moments when Lee-Jones’ dialogue threatens to move into the didactic, Maturure and her co-star still make it feel like a whole lot of fun.

As Cleo continues her campaign, the tangled throbbing mess overhanging Rajha Shakiry’s dark set lowers ominously over the heads of the characters – the net is closing in. YT woman born into rich American family, somehow against all odds, manages to get more rich…” [slow hand clap] Television/digital includes: Have Your Circumstances Changed?, Brainstorm, The Astro Science Challenge, Women of Troy.Join us in the Foyer after the show for #vybnyts!

There are moments of visual wit, too, and Elena Peña’s intricate sound design both drives and punctuates the action.
