Encompass Productions take 'What It Feels Like' to London & Edinburgh Fringe
Encompass Productions presents
What It Feels Like
Previewing at the New Wimbledon Theatre Studio in London and premiering at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2011, Encompass Productions presents What It Feels Like - an experimental drama taking place within the world of a coma. A bittersweet story hurled through extraordinary circumstances, this new play is inspired by the study of comas, dreams and biomedical debate. Featuring an original score and told through several performance disciplines, this is a production that demands to be seen.
Nick and Sarah are married, but not happily. The story of their relationship is ending. This is their final chapter. The world of the coma has only two ways out - Nick must confront his memories and mistakes before his decision. But with the guidance of the two mismatched agents Lester and Simpson, this journey will be anything but smooth sailing. Combining the world of comas and dreams with multimedia, physical theatre and black comedy, this exciting multidisciplinary drama takes audiences into the surreal and unfamiliar, becoming a frank and brutal tour of human nature at its best and worst. Dare you see what it feels like?
