Description

An out of body experience! Tomorrow’s Child is an immersive, multi-layered sonic adventure based on Ray Bradbury’s compelling sci-fi short story. In the imagined retro-future of 1988, new parents Polly and Peter confront the reality that their baby has been born into an alternate dimension. Will they accept the interstellar divide between parents and child? This celebrated production from Canada’s Ghost River Theatre crafts a landscape of sound for blindfolded audiences that is 'the audio equivalent of a five-star dinner' (Stephen Hunt, Calgary Herald). Adapted by Matthew Waddell, Eric Rose, and David van Belle.

This is very much an auditory experience so I'm happy to say the sound in this is done exceptionally well. I've done shows in the dark before which have all relied on using headphones, so for this to be done using speakers seems much more impressive.

The story is somewhat bizarre, but an interesting and engaging experience!
