Terrifying, Must see, Riveting, Masterful, Intense

See it if You like existentialism and horror, as well as dark spaces and sound installations. This is the most realistic sound project I've heard.

Don't see it if You get freaked out by being in the dark, especially when what you're listening to is meant to freak you out.

Resonant, Intelligent, Edgy

See it if If you want to be creeped about about a pandemic. You want to use your imagination. If you don't want to "listen" to the story.

Don't see it if You expect actors. There are none. The show is "performed" with lights and sound design.

Resonant, Intense, Absorbing

See it if A great way to go back to the theatre. Engrossing, theatrical, very resonant. Seating properly distanced and the theatre follows protocols.

Don't see it if you want to see live actors or shy away from violent imagery. This can be pretty intense.

Resonant, Intense, Edgy, Great acting, Absorbing

See it if you like non-traditional theater. This is a fairly intense show about a fictional pandemic, almost dystopian. Mostly audio, clever lighting.

Don't see it if you are easily disturbed by bright lights and sudden loud noises, you are squeamish at descriptions of violence.
