This was a new play by Hope Shangle, it has been a part of a reading series but never received a production. When I first read the piece, I realized this could be translated to Zoom. Instead of taking place in a bedroom it be through a Face Time call. We are able to see Charlie and their room, but not Claudia. With the help from Kyrie, not only did we establish the world but created a moving desktop that reflected Charlie’s mental and emotional life.
