About the Show

A live-action follow up to the Zoom play in response to the massive changes since the pandemic

Nearly two years following its Zoom incarnation, Last Gasp: A Recalibration brings audiences into the same room but not as the same people.

A cross between live theatre and virtual, presence and absence, between staying inside and journeyo out, Peggy Shaw and Lois Weaver bring use spoken word, movement and Zoom technology to comment and reflect on to the world we currently find ourselves in.

Shaw and Weaver unpack the meaning of being in a theatre and performing these days. The acclaimed performance duo invite us to recalibrate together, so we can not come to an end, but move on.

Thought-provoking, Relevant, Quirky, Delightful

See it if enjoy non-linear vignettes from two writers/performers. always shifting thoughts. comfortable to see these performers perhaps for the last

Don't see it if want a standard linear story line.

Relevant, Intelligent, Edgy, Quirky, Thought-provoking

See it if you want to think more about our current situation and what we have been through over the last few years, Two good actors pose the questions

Don't see it if you're looking for a regular play-this is a performance series with video. The sound on the video needs improvement to understand all of it.

Critic Reviews (1)

"Moving LED lights and well-executed video design inject further vivacity into a work that often feels like a reluctant memorial — with one performer ready to say goodbye and the other holding on for dear life."
