(Vancouver, B.C.) – Mitch and Murray Productions is excited to produce and present the North American premiere of Harm from Friday, March 20 to Sunday, March 29, 2026 at Studio 16.
Audiences are invited into an unsettling world with Harm, a gripping one-woman play by acclaimed British playwright Phoebe Eclair-Powell. This suspenseful, razor-sharp comedy stars Kelli Ogmundson (Animal Control) in a powerful solo performance under the direction of Jennifer Copping.
Harm follows an unhappy estate agent whose life takes a startling turn after she sells a home to Alice, a charismatic social media influencer. What starts as an unlikely friendship quickly spirals into fixation, and when her obsession with Alice’s seemingly perfect world intensifies, the lines between digital fantasy and real life become dangerously blurred. Harm is a thrilling, twisted tale on the corrosive effects of social media and isolation.
“Our company’s mandate is to always speak to the current moment,” says Mitch and Murray Productions’ Artistic Director, Aaron Craven. “For years now, I’ve been looking for a play about social media and the loneliness epidemic. Digital addiction is everywhere – we know the smartphones are fueling unhealthy habits, but like smoking in the twentieth century, the allure and the corporate sales tactics keep us itchy for that next dopamine hit. Harm is a beautifully intimate, often funny, and ultimately disturbing look at one lonely woman’s descent into obsession – one hashtag at a time.”
“An edgy psychological drama… shines a light on aspects of what is becoming an increasingly virtual society, especially for those in their 20s and 30s, obsessed with image and success beyond the point of reason.”
– British Theatre Guide
“Phoebe Eclair-Powell’s razor-sharp monologue about social media toxicity and trolling… Tense, heady and full of savage laughter, it is intoxicating from beginning to end. Eclair-Powell’s script glints and her barbed wit stings… Harm might be small in scale but it is magnificent in effect.”
– The Guardian
“This cracking new piece by rising talent Phoebe Eclair-Powell [is] just as effective at summoning entire worlds as any epic musical or drama.”
– The Telegraph
“An arresting, soul-searching monologue.”
– The Times
“Eclair-Powell tells this terrifying tale with a beautiful blend of sharp observation and knowing humour… wonderfully original in its quirkiness… a smart and sassy study of loneliness and obsession.”
– The Arts Desk
