Rehearsal Gallery | BLACKPILL: REDUX

Take a peak into the rehearsal room of BLACKPILL: REDUX, which returns to Theatre Works to open our 2026 season after a sold out, critically acclaimed run in 2025.

As online-based misogynistic hate communities grow both in size and vitriol, embittered members are designing increasingly effective ways to recruit and radicalise young boys behind the protection of chilling anonymity.

Paracosm’s BLACKPILL. unveils the systems by which these communities access and indoctrinate young boys. Using a combination of devised and collected archival text, it casts a harsh light on the quick trip from innocent searches for ‘gym tips’ or ‘how do I talk to girls’ into a cyber chasm the true depths of which most people are entirely unaware.

BLACKPILL: REDUX plays at Theatre Works 7-17 January, opening our 2026 season.
