THE WHOLE SKY ALL DIAMONDS Immersive Play to Open in Greenpoint

THE WHOLE SKY ALL DIAMONDS, a new immersive play inspired by the works of Anton Chekhov, is set to run inside a fully built office environment at Loft Story in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Written by Bixby Elliot and directed by Jack Dentinger, the production places audience members inside a fictional tech company called Füfl, where they take on the role of newly hired employees moving through overlapping storylines of romance, betrayal and workplace disillusionment as a new hire disrupts the office dynamic.

The production runs at Loft Story (748 Manhattan Avenue, Greenpoint, Brooklyn) August 12th through August 22nd. More information is available at www.wholeskyalldiamonds.com.

THE WHOLE SKY ALL DIAMONDS is set inside a tech company on the verge of explosive success or possible collapse. At Füfl, what began as a revolution, a dream not just of changing the internet, but of transforming the very way humans communicate, has, for its employees, become just another job… another grind. But as a new hire upends the orbit of everyone at the company, romance, betrayal and heartbreak spread through the office like a slow-motion server crash. Inspired by the worlds created by Anton Chekhov, the play explores how painful it is to connect in this über-connected world. How do we say what needs to be said when we can't find the words? Or when there are no words?

Created by an artistic team that includes numerous veterans of the acclaimed immersive productions Sleep No More and The Death of Rasputin, THE WHOLE SKY ALL DIAMONDS invites audiences to chart their own journey through the performance as characters, conversations, and discoveries emerge all around them. Audience members become part of the company's daily life, checking in as new hires moving through the workplace and experiencing the story from constantly shifting perspectives.

'I'm beyond excited to let audiences loose inside Füfl! This is a play you step into,' says playwright Bixby Elliot. 'Follow Mickey and you'll get one story; follow Dara and you'll get a completely different, possibly more emotionally devastating one. It's funny, it's heartbreaking, and it changes every single night depending on who you decide to stalk through the office. Basically, come for the tech satire, stay because you've accidentally fallen in love with a fictional software engineer.'
