Overview
A techno-thriller that begins when a young woman is raped at a fraternity and ends in a future where corporations promise a new body with the swipe of a screen, CLICK follows a hacktivist named Fresh who turns industrial espionage into high art. As this virtual Banksy takes over the global imagination, the man who stole her life develops a technology that sends the two of them on a collision course at the heart of the corporate empire, where innovation comes at any cost. A cyberpunk drama for the #MeToo era, a story of trauma, transformation and reclaiming who you are.

“{This} heartbreaking, innovative and relevant play is sure to keep you engaged throughout all 90 minutes…Goldfinger addresses tough subjects surrounding the #metoo movement in CLICK, but also manages to add bits of tasteful humor throughout the show… an overall enjoyable experience for those open to the more ‘artsy’ and poetic side of live theater.”
—Guinevere Govea, Austin Reviews
