GLIMMER
A new musical by Kat Kleve and Frankie Bunce
​
GLIMMER is a dark, adrenaline-fuelled new musical set in Bristol, 2025. Burnt-out from carrying responsibilities far beyond her years, Billie is desperate to be seen – until one doom-scroll leads her to Anakiss, a magnetic influencer preaching radical self-belief through small acts of revenge she calls “glimmers.” When her online world begins to bleed into real life, Billie’s transformation sparks a dangerous chain of irreversible consequences.
​
With a pulsing pop score and a razor-sharp look at influencer culture, GLIMMER dives into digital radicalisation, exploring power, pain, and the price of being heard.
