Two performers. 57 Characters. 666 Comments.

In October 2010 cartoonist Gabby Schulz posted a comic strip on his website. It was about online sexism. What could possibly go wrong?

Over the next three days the comic went viral and the comments went bananas. Some of them were witty, some of them were outrageous, some of them were just plain bizarre.
666 Comments is an attempt to stage that comment thread. Hilarious, provocative and occasionally plain terrifying, 666 Comments brings the virtual world into astonishingly vivid reality.

About the company

The lead artist of 666 Comments is Lancaster-based writer and performer Aliki Chapple. Originally commissioned by Hear Me Roar, Lancaster’s feminist arts festival, and with the support of Arts Council England and Lancaster Arts, Aliki assembled a mixed-gender team of feminists with some of the most impressive track records in contemporary UK theatre.
