i google myself is the unusual story of three very different men with the same name brought together by an internet search engine. One is a lonely stalker, who after googling his name, finds a gay porn star who shares his moniker. Their encounter then leads them both to a middle school bully turned stoner mechanic, also with the same name. What starts as a curiosity turns into an obsession that makes these three men’s worlds violently collide .

The play is an insightful and entertaining window into our society's preoccupation with fame and recognition, and how internet innovations like blogs and online chats promote one's quest to be known, even as the same technology can lead to a debilitating isolation that increases the need for connection
