Matilda and Iolanthe are both about to star in the Downstairs Belvoir show "The Edit" Iolanthe plays Influencer Nia, who wants to find her match and win the primetime reality dating hit, Match or Snatch. Matilda plays Jess, a junior producer on the show. She wants to orchestrate Nia’s every move to secure a win for both of them. But who is controlling who? And what will the win cost both women? The Edit punches in on the underbelly of our guiltiest pleasure, reality television. Merging her own personal experience as a teen on reality television and her extensive interviews with reality stars from the hit podcast series “Back from Reality”, writer Gabrielle Scawthorn asks the question can we ever truly give consent, if we don’t know what we are consenting to.
