GLIMMER is a dark, adrenaline-fuelled new musical set in Bristol, 2025. Burnt-out from carrying responsibilities far beyond her years, Billie is desperate to be seen – until one doom-scroll leads her to Anakiss, a magnetic influencer preaching radical self-belief through small acts of revenge she calls “glimmers.” When her online world begins to bleed into real life, Billie’s transformation sparks a dangerous chain of irreversible consequences.
With a pulsing pop score and a razor-sharp look at influencer culture, GLIMMER dives into digital radicalisation, exploring power, pain, and the price of being heard.
All performances as part of MTFestUK 2026 will be presented in an abridged workshop format, with scripts in hand.
