Locker Cake: Competition Version
by Claire Broome Canadian Author
Competition Version!
Locker Cake: Competition Version is a sharp, emotionally charged one-act play that tears into the complex dynamics of high school theatre, cancel culture, and digital accountability.
When a talented transfer student threatens the drama club’s established social hierarchy, retaliation arrives in the form of a leaked video capturing them making highly offensive comments.
The play tackles the ultimate modern dilemma: Where is the line between intent and impact? And is redemption even possible in a digital world that never forgets?
Raw, timely, and intensely thought-provoking with great characters.
Also available in a one-act version here.
