In Taboo by Teater Grimsborken Leah tells her parents she is going to the movies, but in reality, she has set up a date with iBoy. During this Friday evening something is to go terribly wrong.

Taboo by Teater Grimsborken was supported by SPENN.no and the Freedom of Expression Foundation Fritt Ord, and it is part of a collaboration project with Save the Children, connected to the organisation’s campaign for smart internet use.

Taboo was written by Tom Lycos and Stefo Natsou from Zeal Theatre on commission from STC. The play (original title Taboo) had its world wide premiere in Sydney in 2008.
