This weekend figure the first performances of How to experience Safely in a Science Fictional Universe , a one - gentleman show based on Charles Yu ’s acclaimed novel . Last night was the opening move night , andaccording to the Columbus Dispatchit was a immense hit .
Jennifer Fawcett and Matt Slaybaugh adapt Yu ’s novel into a stage shimmer , keeping a stack of the same themes and ideas , andIan Short(pictured up top ) stars in it . Writes the despatch :
Thoughtful and wistful , endlessly apt but grimly funny , the solo work revolve – and revolves – around a time - car service man searching for his long - lost - in - time father while struggling to avoid getting lost himself .
Beyond its rare position as a sci - fi play that actually works , this moving speculation on memory and regret offers a metre - warped 21st - century update of No loss and other existential dramas . Here is an challenging futurist take on Waiting for Godot , with the sad merry andrew even more poor because he ’s hold back for himself .
This projectraised over $ 6,000 on Kickstarter last month , and you could watch the Kickstarter video , with more selective information about Fawcett and Slaybaugh ’s take on the material , over there . come home the link for more info on coming performances . [ uncommitted Light Theater ]
