Photos: First Look At SCARLETT DREAMS Andrew Keenan-Bolger, Brittany Bellizeare And More

Midnight Theatricals has released production photos for Scarlett Dreams, the world premiere of a new play written and directed by S. Asher Gelman (Afterglow, safeword). 

Playwright/director S. Asher Gelman is probably best known for Afterglow, which opened Off-Broadway in 2017, became a sleeper hit with numerous extensions, and is currently enjoying productions across the globe. Gelman recently directed a new, critically-acclaimed, sold-out production of Afterglow at Southwark Playhouse in London.

In the heart of a digital revolution, Scarlett Dreams unravels a tantalizing mystery set against the backdrop of cutting-edge virtual reality. Siblings Milo and Liza are on the brink of launching RealFit, a revolutionary fitness and wellness application tailored for the latest VR headset. Eager to fine-tune their creation, they enlist Milo’s husband, Kevin, for a final round of beta testing. Immersed in a world more vivid than he could have imagined, Kevin finds himself drawn to Scarlett, his virtual guide. But as their sessions intensify, Scarlett’s enigmatic presence begins to blur the lines between virtuality and reality. As secrets unfold, the audience is invited into a labyrinth where the allure of the digital realm challenges our understanding of truth, connection, and the shadows that dwell within innovation. Scarlett Dreams is a groundbreaking exploration of love, identity, and the mysteries that lie just beyond the screen.
