NEXT TIME
Sorry for the inconvenience.
A once-in-a-lifetime call from The Bureau. Worried, confused, or overwhelmed? Don’t be! Your caseworker is here to help. Back by popular demand, NEXT TIME is an interactive experience performed live for a solo audience member over the course of a 45-60min phone call (available worldwide). This absurdly bureaucratic comedy is a high-octane exercise in gratitude – a reminder that there’s truly no time like the present. An official selection for the Festival of International Virtual and Augmented Reality Stories 2021. PRESS: “★★★★★. Like blood out of a stone, NEXT TIME has soaked my old worn heart in a bowl of warm theatre and softened it considerably.” (Everything Theatre); “a laugh riot in sound and synchrony” (HorrorBuzz); “sharp / caffeinated / Kafkaesque” (Vulture); “beautifully poignant / delightful and unexpected” (NoProscenium); “uplifting...a lot of fun” (UXmmersive); “twisted and surprising / what surfaces about yourself over the course of the exchange may surprise you.” (Theater Mirror); “she *had* read the room.” (The New York Times)
