What did we have to complain about before social media? Empowering politicians of all hues to lie and create white noise, it was only a matter of time before ordinary people found themselves doing the same. That’s the nub of Rachel Causer’s one-woman monologue, in which Alex (Róisín Bevan) recounts how she started to spice up her life with a few sweet little lies on the socials. Her father has just died, with the demon drink the cause, but Alex somehow finds herself attending support groups and claiming that her father was a pilot who died in a plane crash.

Bigging up her own personal tragedies only causes confusion, both for Alex and those who seek to know and understand her, and Causer’s play presents an empathetic heroine whose dalliance with the dark art of deceit leads to some painful self-discovery. Bevan makes Alex a lively narrator, and self-deception is a strong theme with Please Feel Free To Share exploring ground touched on in Fight Club and the notion of attending self-help groups for fun. But thanks to Bevan’s energetic performance, the piece finds an original comic style that echoes back to the pioneering work of Joyce Grenfell and beyond.
