Abstract
This creative paper contains an extract of Lifeline––a short thriller play presented in the 2016Adelaide Fringe. Lifeline explores the ramifications of metadata retention and social media information falling into the hands of a character with malicious intentions, in the case of the play, a character called ‘Lewis’, who uses the personal information of a man named ‘Guy’ to manipulate him into performing heinous acts. The extract details the section of the play following the opening,where Lewis begins to reveal the far-reaching consequences of being able to access Guy’s personal information through a combination of his details (birth date, full name, address) and billing information (banking details, credit card information, and purchase history). The play explores the consequences of storing personal details in a mediatized environment, and the consequences of not understanding the legislation that is designed around personal identity. It also details other aspects of cyberspaces that are often misunderstood––the Dark web, the ease in which someone can steal personal information, and how unsecure information is when there is access to metadata throughtelecommunications services.
