Description
Going Dark explores our lost connection with the night sky and its wonder at the cosmos. A unique collaboration between playwright Hattie Naylor and innovative theatre company Sound&Fury, this book combines immersive surround sound design, total darkness, and imaginative lighting and projections to create a startling new theatrical language.
The play tells the story of Max, an astronomer who challenges his audiences with the mysteries of stars and science at the city's planetarium. When his own life takes an unexpected turn, he discovers that understanding the universe requires a different kind of vision.
Described as 'Total theatre that doesn't just happen all around you, but that swallows you up completely', Going Dark is an example of innovative, immersive theatre-making at its best. It's a powerful exploration of contemporary society and our place in the world.
