Directors Note:
I began thinking about the nature of theater and how it will survive in a world where the very nature of entertainment is constantly being redefined. Long a fan of media philosopher Marshall McLuhan, I decided to use his insights to create a theater piece about who we are becoming vis-a-vis the radical developments in technology that surround us. McLuhan spent his entire life exploring and criticizing our methods of communication. Towards the end of this life, he suffered a series of strokes and, with cruel irony, lost his own ability to communicate through speech.
