“I step into the light and it’s fame ’n glory all the way for the boy who murdered ’imself ’n lived to tell the tale tonight.”

Meet Johnny: a lonely 14-year-old boy from Manchester with a troubled home life and a vivid imagination. Johnny finds solace on the web in his online channels of chatter with faceless friends. Johnny’s online world is turned upside down when he comes across a local teen from the real world in one of his chat rooms. A fast friendship is formed in a web of lies that leads to a series of events with dark consequences.

I Love You, Bro, written by Melbourne-based writer Adam J A Cass in 2007 and was first performed that year at the Melbourne Fringe. The play has since had productions in Brisbane, Sweden, New Zealand, Denmark and Germany.

Based on true events, I Love You, Bro is a modern murder mystery born from the digital age that has to be seen to be believed.
