Tim Arnold

Indie Rock and Black Mirror meet social media and our Big Tech time bomb. A gig, a film drama and stage show rolled into one. Super Connected Produced and presented by The Tim Arnold Company "Any piece of art should have the audience leave with more than they entered the room with. Super Connected definitely succeeds : it is a hugely significant piece of work, containing a vital message, carefully constructed and brilliantly performed. Outstanding” – UK Fringe Review ★★★★ Is it time to break up with our phones? The stage adaptation of the critically acclaimed album by Tim Arnold, ‘Super Connected’ is an art rock Black Mirror-esque show fusing film, live music, and theatre about the ticking time bomb of social media, screen addiction and the impact of Big Tech’s power over human life. As the film rolls, Arnold performs his Silicon Valley-slamming songs on stage and screen. With the scale of Radiohead and panache of Bowie, Super Connected LIVE is a digital-age take on the silent movie. With narration by Stephen Fry. Full of wit, wisdom, and terror, the show tells the true story of a teenager battling screen addiction—and her family's fight against it. Being pulled in and out of the screen by the attention-grabbing characters, Arnold grapples with what connection and intimacy mean in a digitally distracted world. PhoneFreeze!
