Description
The place you once forgot remembers you, and has been waiting...
An ethereal, nostalgic burst of whimsy and wonder awaits you in this immersive experience for one audience member at a time. After two sold-out runs - in-person at Edinburgh Fringe 2019 and a virtual adaptation in December of 2020 - The Place You Once Forgot returns virtually for a limited time this spring. Follow your inner child's curiosity and enter a dream world created for you and with you, where the choices you make will guide your journey. Your new friends are excited to see you... or are they, perhaps, your oldest friends?
Technical Requirements:
- The show includes a phone call and a Zoom meeting, which require two separate devices (ideally a phone and a laptop).
- Because this show is a collaborative process with one individual, each guest must purchase their own time slot, even for multiple people in the same household.
- All times listed are in Pacific Time, but audience members all over the world are encouraged to join!
- For international guests who cannot have a regular phone call with a US phone, a WhatsApp call or something similar can be arranged.
- For any accessibility needs, please email the team to arrange accommodations.
No Proscenium review of the 2020 virtual production:
"The Place You Once Forgot is a warm, digital hug."
"I can’t remember what I’d been worrying about previously and I can’t remember why I’ve been stressed. Which I suppose is precisely the point of The Place You Once Forgot. I needed to take the time to remember the other things in life."

Audience reviews of the 2019 production:
“A beautifully crafted, perfectly paced piece of immersive 1:1 theatre. Delightful.” -Alice
“Pure delight... the chance to reflect and reconnect with my youth was incredibly moving. If this comes back in 2020, do whatever you can to get a ticket.” -Alistair L.
“Totally magical. I find myself still thinking about it days later, remembering little details, and each time I do I get this odd sense of comfort.” -Brian R.
