„You‘re Not TikToking Right!“ is a modern English youth play about bullying, social media, and standing up for others with 12+ roles and approx. 60 minutes running time, ideal for school classes, drama groups, and youth theater to perform.
It includes an interactive element in which personal experiences can flow in and be processed together in the group: The students Leah, Omar and Chloe want to dance along to a choreography they saw on social media. But then something embarrassing happens to Leah: her pants rip. Luke and his friends Jay and Milan secretly observe the incident and even record a video. Because he hopes for many likes, Luke finally uploads the video. It quickly circulates around the entire school. When Leah finds out the next day, she is shocked and the mean comments hit her hard. Luke, too, had expected something different from the upload, and when Leah no longer comes to school, his guilty conscience grows stronger. He wants to make it right and devises a plan – but he can only implement it with the help of his classmates…
This play is also available in German: Du TikTokst ja nicht richtig!
