After the mysterious Restart, people awaken without memories, living with strangers they’re told are their families. The Man and the Woman are one such couple: she strives for a happy marriage, he doubts the assurances that this Restart is “for everyone’s safety.” When she takes a job cataloguing problematic dreams at an official Post Office, he begins a dangerous and haphazard journey to rediscover forbidden words and images that might reveal what came before. As dreams become dangerous currency and language is slowly weaponized, their love is tested by a surveillance state, the failures of the past and the decision of what comes next.
Performances for the Censorship of Dreams are Thursdays and Fridays at 7:00 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays at 3:00 p.m., plus Monday, May 4 at 7:00 p.m. Opening night is Monday, May 4 at 7:00 p.m. The runtime is 90 minutes with no intermission. General admission tickets are $10.00-40.00.
