Ever hated what you do for work? Why not do something about it?
Daniel is a tech contractor at a top-secret military base, way out in the middle of nowhere. He isn’t exactly sure what he’s working on, and remaining ignorant seems a great way to secure a comfy desk job. But when he starts discovering what he’s involved in, he feels compelled to tell someone, anyone, what’s going on—even if it means destroying himself in the process. DANIEL is a strange, funny and brutal play about surveillance, complicity, office politics, and trying to get through a day’s work at a job you hate.
This version of ‘DANIEL’ is a staged reading of a script still in development, and is not intended to be viewed as a complete play or production.
“a petri dish of densely connected ideas… razor-sharp observation into social dynamics”
