SYNOPSIS

What is the sum of 18,000 invisible birds? Where is your voice between my phone and yours? Exactly how many kinds of silence are there? And is Jonathan dating anyone? I’m not prying but I’m very interested…

Inhabiting a world somewhere between Woody Allen and Samuel Beckett this hilarious and heartbreaking new piece based on the stories of Jonathan Safran Foer is about the gap between what could have happened and what actually did.

 

A first class travel experience for all who step aboard.
