This precarious circumstance leads the protagonist to a surreal, life-changing encounter enhanced by the use 3D technology (viewers experience the play with headphones). The play premiered in 2015 at the Edinburgh International Festival before critically acclaimed runs at London’s Barbican and on Broadway a the John Golden Theatre. 445 Geary St., 415.338.1220, sfcurran.com
