My Face

by Nigel Williams

Susie decides to hold a party for all her My Face internet friends, but things go disastrously wrong as the virtual people become real. Mark is in love with Susie, but Susie is more concerned with the fact that Lou is in love with Sam. But Sam (although he doesn’t know it) is in love with Emma and – to make things even worse – Lou may be in love with Susie’s brother, Pete. Disaster!

Nigel Williams’ novels include The Wimbledon Poisoner and his writing for the stage includes Class Enemy, Country Dancing and Lord of the Flies, adapted from William Golding’s book. He wrote the Emmy award-winning screenplay Elizabeth I, starring Helen Mirren.

The search for identity pulses through New Connections 2008: for acceptance and survival in modern Britain, for racial equality in 1960s South Africa, by deception in magical allotments, during white-out in a snow blizzard, through parenting, through faith, or by comic mistakes of social networking.
