Click-bait culture, fake news and cyber gluttony take a role in new play Feed by Theatre Témoin at The Lowry on June 28 and 29.

Manchester-born writer and performer Chris Thorpe is mentoring the devising and writing process, which brings together four people connected by a viral media storm.

A Palestinian woman takes a striking photograph of a boy. A journalist steals the image for an unrelated article. A blogger is moved to tears by the article and posts a tribute. An SEO specialist makes the blogger’s tribute go viral. Now all four are caught in a media storm.
