Projection
This play appeals to people who enjoy Scifi and is suitable for ages 16+ there is also a strong ethical and philosophical dimension.
Theatre503’s doublebill opens with Still I see My Baby, a collection of scenes which could almost be described as miniature pieces of theatre in their own right. Set in a futuristic landscape, we are let into a world of uncertainty and paranoia. Conception is conditioned, with strict laws in place, and homosexuality is officially a defect. Although the subject matter is unsettling, the actors on stage portray sensitive yet stimulating characters in this world of tomorrow. I would highly recommend this thought-provoking, relevant set of snapshots, powered by an imaginative glimpse into some of the possibilities the future.
Depends on the venue. We would be very happy to accommodate access requirements.
We are open to respectful offers.
