The Fifth Wall Presents Suspicious Package: Rx 6/5-7/4 At The Brick

Told via Zune MP3 Media Players, the story unfolds as audience members (only six at a time) are guided through their roles with both aural and visual cues. Video flashbacks and narrative voiceovers fill in your backstory while maps of locations and your dialogue are displayed on screen. Part theatrical experience, part live video game, Suspicious Package:Rx immerses its audience within a gritty chiaroscuro Twilight Zone-like world, where not everything is black and white.

Following last year's hit show Suspicious Package, The Fifth Wall is proud to present an all-new retro sci-fi adventure employing the same revolutionary technology that turned audiences into actors and the streets of Williamsburg into a stage in what NY Press called "one of the best times I have had at the theater." Suspicious Package: Rx takes our intrepid audience/cast into the not-too-distant post-apocalyptic future in which happy pills don't make anyone happy, drug companies can't be trusted, and everyone seems a little suspicious. Side effects may include "thrills" (Village Voice), "a great time" (nytheatre.com), and "a singular experience" (The New York Times).

Suspicious Package:Rx will play as part of The Antidepressant Festival, June 5-July 4 at The Brick (575 Metropolitan Avenue between Union and Lorimer), Saturday & Sunday afternoons, reservations required. Tickets ($20.00) are available through www.theatermania.com (212-352-3101 or toll-free: 1-866-811-4111).
