Cleo has holed up in her bedroom to write her dissertation on structural racism, when a tweet triggers her: “At 21, Kylie Jenner becomes the youngest self-made billionaire ever”. But what’s self-made about inherited money and white privilege? Cleo fires off a series of anonymous tweets under the hashtag #kyliejennerfidead to express her frustration about how white women appropriate and benefit from black culture and stereotypes. Cleo’s best friend voices concerns about Cleo’s digital fantasies as the lines between the digital and IRL become blurred.

In her witty, in-yer-face, fast-paced, darkly comical drama, Jasmine Lee-Jones picks up on current debates about black identity, beauty ideals, cultural appropriation, racism, queerness and wokeism and immerses us in the ever-shifting worlds of young people. The playwright situates a legitimate argument about ownership of black female bodies into the form of hate speech, thus provocatively and intelligently blurring points of view.
