Until now. Because Bertram has found it. And what he learns will change everything. A found footage play about those who watch others, technology, and what to do with the wondrous terror of finding the answers we go looking for.

Content Warning: False imprisonment. A gun appears, but does not ultimately fire. Suck it, Chekhov.

    Hypnotic. Disturbing. Eerie. Relentless. This gripping techno thriller takes us on a wild ride across space and time, effortlessly altering reality and then altering it again and again. The witty use of MacGuffins is just one of the many treats this script holds. I am in awe of the wit and imagination demonstrated throughout.

    If you enjoy gasping and talking to yourself while reading, you are going to love this twisty, weird, sci-fi thriller, which successfully creates the most analog version of a story that's ultimately told through (and inside of...?) analog tech. Structurally and plot-wise, it has a fantastic engine, introducing questions as quickly as it answers them. It's simultaneously intimate and...some definition of voyeuristic?! You feel guilty for watching AND looking away! Weird as hell and wonderful!

    Oh. My. God! This play made my jaw drop to the floor! Daniel Prillaman has given us such a enticing and dangerous thriller about a young guy trying to make sense of a disappearance case using technology from the past, while also emerging into it through intense concentration and also facing torture! The stage directions and set design are truly immaculate and captivating! The fact that I inspired Daniel to write this play somehow is crazy! Would love to see this be produced! Amazing work Daniel!
