| Priscilla, a lonely woman who works at a hobby shop, is so empathetic that she cries nightly while watching game shows. But her evening routine gets weird when she starts receiving 3 AM phone calls -- from aliens. When she finally picks up, the aliens ask her a big favor: to save the
world. In this fantastical play examining loss, love, and the search for answers, Priscilla looks to the only expert she knows, her favorite gameshow contestant Simon, to save both worlds before it's too late. |

| "Disjointed, charming and bewildering, and somehow makes emotional sense -- in short, playwright Walt McGough has captured dream logic exactly." |
