THE NEW YORK TIMES:
"(A) soft-spoken reverie of a play." Read the full review here.
“What I’m relating now, what’s going through my head, I have never told anyone before. It’s a secret, no one knows it. I will say what the secret is. I would like to have a better life.”
From the writer and director of the 2010 PlayCo hit Enjoy, The Sonic Life of a Giant Tortoise probes the everyday lives of urban adults. Everything seems comfortable – jobs, relationships. But beneath the surface runs a powerful undercurrent of longing. Sonic Life is a quirky, dreamlike and poignant theatrical experience from some of the foremost theatre artists of the US and Japan.
DATES: May 25 - July 3.
