WHITE HEAT
A revealed identity leads to an impossible decision. Journalist Alice Kennings grapples with how to act after uncovering the identity of an alt-right podcast host calling for violence against the media. Based on real events, White Heat is a play about all the things we justify to ourselves.
Before Cue6 toured WHITE HEAT to English Theatre Berlin, it was originally presented in Toronto at the 2019 SummerWorks Performance Theatre Festival starring Makambe Simamba & Tim Walker.

“White Heat explores the continuum between trolls who target writers on the internet – especially women and people of colour – and true-life terror, such as the mass shooting at The Capital newspaper in Maryland in 2018 that left five journalists dead.”
