“FIVE STARS! Takes your breath away. Performed with ingenious simplicity, this poetic enactment of Bradbury's existentially spine-tingling tale is stunning.”

Time Out New York

Modern myths of creation and destruction. Competing inventors, brilliant machines, dreams of the past and nightmares of the future. Stories by Ray Bradbury, Stanislaw Lem, Bill Pronzini & Barry N. Malzberg adapted for the stage, with bunraku-style and shadow puppetry, lightbulbs and water, actors and an upright bass.
