For my Final Major Project, I am adapting the play "Chat Room" by Enda Walsh into a multimedia stage production. This play explores critical themes of online safety, cyberbullying, and the dangers of internet use, making it relatable for many audiences, though some mature themes may not be suitable for younger viewers. The production will feature two scenes: the introduction of the main characters in a chat room and a pivotal moment where a character hacks into the system. Utilizing various resources, the project will create an engaging and thought-provoking experience.
