What I liked

The premise is interesting. The marketing for this show is excellent. The use of projection was nice. The theatre was comfortable.

What I didn't like

With the exception of Constantine Malahias who kept his acting simple, the others actors could really tone it down, and stop pushing. The guard should not do comedy shtick. Although it gets laughs, he is in a different play than everyone else, and it doesn’t belong.

My overall impression

This is a play, not an immersive experience. The only immersive aspect of the show is that the audience is referred to as “scientists” in a study and given fun name badges. But we are never asked to participate in any way. As another reviewer stated kindly, and I will say more bluntly, I felt trapped, and was waiting for it to end.
