A slippery new thriller in which nothing is as it seems and nobody is who they are.
“This work genuinely has the capacity to change everything.” Playwright Dennis Kelly
“It is a play of rare political urgency, savage wit and real compassion and wisdom. It is a play that defines this country as it blinks its way out of the pandemic and into a chilling new world. It is, I think, a startlingly significant piece of work.”
Playwright Simon Stephens
“I looked up after reading the play and felt like the world had changed. Everything looked different. People need to see this.” Playwright Laura Wade
The Royal Court presents the debut play of ‘Dave Davidson’ a conspiratorial thriller in the age of government surveillance.

Reviews are in for That Is Not Who I Am at the Royal Court Theatre in London.
NOTE: This review contains spoilers.
Initially presented as a play by an up and coming playwright ‘Dave Davidson’, the show, which is really titled Rapture is by acclaimed dramatist Lucy Kirkwood. Confused already? It hasn’t even started. Billed as a conspiratorial thriller in the age of government surveillance, the show centres on a young couple who meet on a Guardian blind date. They flirt, tease, and discuss conspiracy theories, before descending into a black hole of paranoia and objective truth.
Starring Priyanga Burford, Jake Davies and Siena Kelly, That Is Not Who I Am is directed by Royal Court Theatre Associate Director Lucy Morrison. The production will run until 16 July 2022 at the Royal Court Theatre.
