Palm Reading
by Daniel Bye

Commissioned by Absolutely Cultured and Northern Broadsides


Two people meet in real life for the first time since lockdown.
​
One is played by you.

The other is played by someone you’ve never met.




​Palm Reading is a live online performance encounter for you and a stranger. Meeting one another for the first time through this script, you’ll experience closeness and distance in a whole new set of ways.

To experience Palm Reading, you’ll need to find a partner. You could ask around via your own social media, or you could find someone through the comments on YouTube, Facebook, or Twitter . Then just download the document, and make sure you read the instructions a few hours in advance.

It lasts somewhere a little upwards of ten minutes, but allow longer. There is no audience, just you and your partner. And since a couple of actors have asked me: no, you don't need to learn the lines. Beyond the instructions page, don't even read it in advance.
