Eternal Thou at Atwater Village Theatre

Written from the perspective of sentient technology and set in a mysterious telecommunication chamber, the five central characters of the play dive in and out of the unwieldy signals of The Internet trying to reprogram its central code and thereby protect it from outside forces that threaten its survival. Will their ongoing tampering with this vital communication system create a "butterfly effect" that brings humanity closer together or will they ultimately redefine the very nature of human existence? "CRITIC'S PICK," BACKSTAGE WEST – "It's as though Martha Clarke discovered a previously unknown time-traveling play by Samuel Beckett and collaborated with Blue Man Group to create ‘Eternal Thou.' Director-playwright-producer Matthew McCray has challenged the multifarious inner reaches of his imagination and poured his heart into birthing this cautionary literary love letter to the Internet." – Travis Holder
