Do you want to live forever? YES or NO Polly and Owen have nailed it. Successful in their careers and wildly in love with each other, they feel ready to take on the world. But when a mysterious new technology, promising a break from the daily grind, creeps into everyoneโ€™s phones, their world is turned upside down. As the line between physical and digital rapidly dissipates, Polly and Owen are forced to question whether their definitions of reality and freedom are the same. Girl in the Machine is a disturbing but compassionate vision of our potential digital future, and what it might mean for โ€˜lifeโ€™ as we know it.

SHE KILLS MONSTERS: VIRTUAL REALMS by Qui Nguyen

sundowntheatre

She Kills Monsters: Virtual Realms tells the story of Agnes Evans following the death of her teenage sister, Tilly. When Agnes finds Tillyโ€™s Dungeons & Dragons notebook, however, she stumbles into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was Tillyโ€™s refuge. In this high-octane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, evil cheerleader succubi, and pop culture, acclaimed playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all. Playwright Qui Nguyen has rewritten the original play (She Kills Monsters) with the intention of it being performed online using a video conferencing platform. Rehearsals will take place remotely with a few in person scenes. The show will be filmed ahead of time with scheduled filming days. As this is a new means in which to create theatre, all involved in the production will be able to collaborate together to discover and create innovative and unique ways to tell this story. ๏ปฟ
