Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tech. Around you, a company of 14 is engaged in the very peculiar””and peculiarly impossible””task of making a new play. You”™ll have a seat next to the sound designer as he mixes cues. You”™ll eavesdrop on backstage gossip as it happens over headset. You”™ll watch the director struggle to contain the uncontainable.
Anne Washburn (Mr. Burns) took notes during her tech rehearsals over the years. Directed by Les Waters, 10 out of 12 is a wry and absorbing look at how work forms us and deforms us.
