“Of course we’re not “entitled” to sex, but we want it. Why wouldn’t some of us feel the need to resort to violence or misogyny?”
blackpill is a verbatim solo play by writer/director Rachel McLean, performed by Sean Burnett Dugdale-Martin. It is found in the forums where incels (involuntary celibates) preach their dogmatic ideology, express profound hatred for women, and share their own pervasive loneliness.
Darkly funny, occasionally disturbing, and so unbelievable it could only be real, blackpill pulls back the curtain and breaks down the pipeline from online extremism to real-world terror. The play asks how we reckon with the existence of these communities, their allure to young men, the pathways to deradicalization, and contemplates whether we can bring those ensnared by incel ideology back into society.
