“The Supposed To Be” is a new play that blends ideas of cloning, performance, and personal identity. Across reviews from The Age, the Brisbane Times, and the Sydney Morning Herald, the work is described as centring on an executive character who draws on and reframes the expectations often associated with “model migrant” narratives. The character channels her fantasy life by embodying a Sri Lankan Tamil actor and OnlyFans star, using role-play and performance conventions to explore how identity can be constructed, imagined, and revisited. The three outlets present the production as leaning into unexpected combinations of themes, juxtaposing mainstream professional life with more intimate, online-adjacent persona and sexual-fantasy material. While the specific staging details are not provided in the supplied summaries, the consistent throughline is the play’s focus on transformation—how a character uses cloning-like or duplicated versions of self, along with culturally specific representation, to examine what the “real” self might mean. Reviews characterise the premise as both playful and pointed, using the boundaries between public image and private desire as the basis for its dramatic approach.
