I COULD BE SOMEONE ELSE

Meeting a new friend can feel almost like falling in love. But what happens if the friendship feeling isn’t mutual? If you have to adapt in order to be friends? Who will you choose to be? Could you choose to be an island, and not adapt to anyone? Is there a danger in wanting to be friends with everyone? Are you jealous of your friends’ other friends?

In her funny and insightful play about friendship for teen and young adult audiences, Isakstuen introduces us to the characters I, YOU, SOMEONE ELSE, A FRIEND, SOMEONE WANTING TO OWN A FRIEND, EVERYONE, AN ISLAND, A RIVER, SOMEONE WANTING TO BE FRIENDS WITH EVERYONE, TWO WHO ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL, and A NEW FRIEND.
