Tim Arnold

“Super Connected is like a warning from the future... remarkably poignant, funny, ominous and heartrending” R n R ★★★★ Is it time to break up with our phones?
 A stage adaptation of the critically acclaimed album by indie rock polymath Tim Arnold, ‘Super Connected’ is a Black Mirror-esque show fusing film, live music, theatre and the ticking time bomb of social media & big tech.

 As the film rolls, Arnold performs on stage & screen accompanied by pianist Sarah Kershaw (The Irrepressibles) & ballerina Daniela Maccari (The Lindsay Kemp Co). With the scale of Radiohead & panache of Bowie Super Connected LIVE is a digital age take on the silent movie. With narration by Stephen Fry. Full of wit, wisdom & terror, the show explores a family’s struggle with technology addiction.

 Being pulled in & out of the screen by the attention-grabbing characters, Arnold grapples with what connection & intimacy mean in a digitally distracted world Lock your phones in our pouches, pocket them, & break free from the digital grind before the show!
