Do I look like the kind of person who would do that?
No. You don’t.
But neither did Ted Bundy.

Dan meets an attractive stranger, setting off a series of events that threaten to derail his life. Meanwhile his girlfriend, Ellie, is under increasing pressure at work and is hounded by a powerful force. April is a student teacher and has a key to your apartment…

Three lives unfold and everyday occurrences take on a pattern, forming connections that no one saw coming.

Maybe the stranger in the park isn’t a stranger.
Maybe our work is designed to destroy us.
Maybe everything we do has been carefully planned and choice is an illusion.

You’re Not Special is a dark comedy about life and love in the modern age. It’s about how our interactions with the world are changing before our eyes and robbing us of basic human experiences. It’s about where we are heading as a species and what we have done to ourselves.

But most of all, it’s about you.

From the writer of The Block Universe and The Wind in the Underground, You’re Not Special is Sam O’Sullivan’s wicked new play about relationships, technology and the dangerous line between truth and fiction in the digital age.

“Powerful, poignant, slightly shocking and deeply relevant”
