Chatroom

Product Information

Chatroom is a 2010 British psychological thriller drama film directed by Hideo Nakata [3] from a screenplay by Enda Walsh, based on Walsh's 2005 play of the same name. In a quiet corner of the internet, a group of bored, restless teenagers spends its time deconstructing children's literature and the messages in modern pop music. It was good but I will have to say that I liked the movie better which I never say, but it would be interesting to see a performance of this. William Collins is a depressed teenage boy recovering from self-harm and regularly goes online to chatrooms. Mo believes himself to be a pedophile because he is attracted to his friend Si's prepubescent sister, Keisha.

but it also contains loads of excellent monologues, duologues and short scenes for classwork or exams. A great play nonetheless which is difficult to actually enjoy because of the nature of it, but Enda highlights the dangers of conformity and what can happen if a joke is taken too far.

All of the characters have their own insecurities, their own ‘issues’ and they use an internet chat room to blow off some steam and express their thoughts of the world.

Mo and the others discover about William's intended actions and go to stop him, meeting up in person and trying to follow William and Jim around London. The group is torn between those who want to help and those who see this as a chance to create a martyr for the teenage population.

From purely reading it, the ending felt a little flat but I can imagine it being a much more powerful thing to witness than to read.
