Overview

Synopsis

In the digital age, where everyone is constantly performing, how do we know who’s telling the truth? Sybil is a thrilling, modern drama that unfolds entirely in the digital world, exploring the lives of teenagers caught in the web of social media, where online personas clash with reality. At the center is Sybil, a charismatic but enigmatic influencer whose mysterious disappearance sets off a storm of speculation and conspiracy theories. Through Instagram Lives, video calls, and group chats, her classmates piece together fragments of her online presence, uncovering secrets about Sybil—and themselves. Is she a victim, a manipulator, or something else entirely?

Perfect for high school drama programs and contemporary audiences, Sybil tackles the complexities of social media, identity, and mental health. With sharp dialogue, dark humor, and a touch of mystery, this innovative play blurs the line between truth and performance while offering performers the chance to bring timely themes to life. Step into a story where everyone is watching, but no one really knows the truth.
