GOING DARK
Written by Hattie Naylor in collaboration with Sound&Fury
How far can you see? A mile? A hundred miles? Or to the furthest shores of the universe to a far away galaxy?
Max works in a planetarium, when his own life takes an unexpected turn he discovers that understanding the universe requires a different kind of vision…
Following two sold out runs at the Young Vic in 2011 and 2012, Sound&Fury use immersive surround sound design, a specially designed wrap around set, total darkness, imaginative lighting and projection to reawaken our wonder at the cosmos and reveal how one man’s vision becomes illuminated by impending darkness.
£20 adult, £15 concs, £8 under 16s / student

Reviews for Going Dark:
“a one-man show that casts us both far out into the heavens and deep into human head-space…Sound & Fury are going boldly where few companies have gone before” The Telegraph *****
“…manages to marry the best aspects of such dazzling text-based plays as Stoppard’s Arcadia and Frayn’s Copenhagen, which make profound use of science as metaphor, with state-of-the art deployment of theatre-as-atmosphere techniques.” The Independent *****
“In its union of text, light, sound and slowly developing photographic images, the show is a considerable technical feat” The Guardian ****
“As so often with Sound & Fury, you leave the theatre’s eloquent darkness with a twinge of reluctance about re-entering the seeing world.” Financial Times ****
“The visionaries who are taking a leap in the dark” The Independent
