The theatre, known for promoting up-and-coming writers, wanted to spark a debate about privacy, said Lisa Cagnacci, one of the production’s curators.

“We weren’t interested in doing a verbatim production, we were more interested in how society has lost its sense of what should be public and what should be private,” Cagnacci said.
