Two Strangers Walk Into A Bar…
TILDA COBHAM-HERVEY
This unique immersive audio experience invites two strangers at a time to experience connection
You will meet a tall dark stranger… or a short pale stranger… you will meet a stranger. You will meet a human person who is made up of all the same things as you, arranged in a different order.
Together you will bravely balance on a ball you have learnt to call Earth that floats in space. A space no one can see. A space so vast it can’t even be recorded. This tall, dark, short, pale stranger may change your life? But they probably won’t. This is just a show. This is a show about strangers.
This intimate audio adventure by Tilda Cobham-Hervey invites two audience members at a time to experience connection, and works best when you do not book with a friend.
