PLAY #2 - This was a cool interactive theatre piece that I went to with Charlie. The people who created it say: “ETIQUETTE is a private theatrical experience for two people in a public space. The participants take a seat across from each other at a small table (the stage), put on headphones and follow a recorded script, complete with stage directions taking them through a half-hour play, in which they are both performers and audience. As the scene is quiet and conversational, others in the public space are usually unaware that anything is happening at all. It’s best done with someone you know - but it’s a rare experience to share with a stranger. The characters of a young girl and a philosopher lead the participants into several micro-situations, many of them borrowed from film and theatre, where the ‘bubble’ shared between two people splits and reforms incessantly. ETIQUETTE exposes human communication at both its rawest and most delicate and explores the difficulty of turning our thoughts into words we can trust.” I don’t know about that last part, but it was fun, it had some cool two-person special effects (really!), and only a few things that I found myself wishing would just get over already. It runs through Jan 20 and if you can get tix, I definitely recommend it. Click on the pic for more info.
