Who Are You Supposed To Be? is a light-hearted comedy from Australian writer, Keith Gow, workshopped by the London team of Cameron K McEwan, Emrys Matthews and Jennifer Lusk featuring a very strong Doctor Who element. The play premiered at the Edinburgh Festival
Fringe earlier this year and is appearing in London next month – buy tickets HERE.

Founded in the team’s real experiences of being fans/geeks, the play explores both the passion and excitement of being a fan/geek as well as its more problematic elements. Gow and Lusk actually met at the Melbourne preview screening of Serenity, a film which has a mention in the play. Meanwhile, McEwan, who runs the popular Doctor Who fan website Blogtor Who (you know, the one you’re reading right now), with fellow blogger and reviewer, Matthews, provided much of the additional material for the script.


The characters of Gene (McEwan) and Ash (Lusk) are wonderfully flawed, and their particular foibles allow the play to examine notions of masculinity, feminism, mental disorder, the perils of social media relationships and the fundamentals of human interaction. All under the playful banner of Doctor Who and Star Wars fandoms!

Who Are You Supposed To Be? premiered at the Edinburgh Festival
Fringe in August and is appearing in London at the Etcetera Theatre
for 3 shows only (details below).

“The play is intensely heavily researched (without wishing to stereotype ‘geek’ culture…) and also delightfully consistent in its usage of this research.” – Broadway Baby
