At a web site dedicated to the work of a cult novelist and his personal obsessions, fans gather to interact with their hero - and each other. In this delirious space where identity is slippery and ideas are everything, an anarchic virtual community of queer punks and lonely teens, paranoid artists and wannabe slaves, forms and endlessly re-forms, until it's hard to know what's scarier: that a lot of what happens here isn't really real - or that some of it is. Inspired by and loosely based on the notorious blog of writer and artist Dennis Cooper, Weaklings disorientingly blurs fiction and documentary, fact and fantasy, to create a compelling portrait of people on the edge, finding a strange refuge together in dangerous times. Presented in association with Fierce Festival. Co-commissioned by Theatre in the Mill.
