The NoW (v1)
The world's first Facebook play.
A ground-breaking, multi-media sci-fi/fantasy/comedy that re-imagined theatre for the digital age.
This was the trial for Feathertree Arts' Upcoming Digital Theatre.
When every person on Earth is given easy access to a vast, loving and free Network of Worlds, our governments’ attempts to maintain control quickly become frustrated and confused before they realise the truth.
Meanwhile, a group of beautiful birds in an ornate aviary discover a hole to the huge forest outside and a communicative cat joins a single parent family, alongside other stories improvised live.
“Mate, this is pretty ambitious.” ... “The attention to detail is amazing.” ... “Where did you even get the idea, though?” ... “I don’t get it.” ... “I reckon people will really engage with all the different layers.” ... “You’ll never pull it off.” ... “You realise that you might get assassinated?!” ... “I am loving my daily dose of The NoW!”
Read my blog post where I reflect on this trial performance and how it has shaped everything that we are doing at Feathertree Arts.
