Description

We are very proud to bring you the 5th production in Chronic Insanity's 12 shows in 12 months project for 2021, There's Something Among Us by Joe Strickland.

"Hell is other people, even over Zoom"

Games have the ability to bring us together, but also to push us apart. For every fun evening over a game of Jenga there’s a family torn apart by Monopoly. With a rise in online games over lockdown, like the popular game Among Us, a friendship group being broken apart by a game can now happen remotely. Hooray!

In Among Us, a player(s) is assigned the role of The Imposter and has to try and secretly murder the other players without being caught. But what if, when each avatar in the game is killed off, either by the imposter or the other players, something more immediate and serious happens to that player in real life, something the other players aren’t made aware of until it’s too late.

There's Something Among Us tells a story through multiple interactive video feeds of the opening of old wounds, the revelation of unspoken truths, and little colourful dudes killing each other on a space station.

This performance contains strong language and last for about 50 minutes
