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.
