The deepening layers of their unsettling relationship unfold in a taut psychological drama, revealed through a unique aural landscape and a richly layered production. Composed by Keeril Makan. Librettist / Director, Jay Scheib.
Running time is approximately 90 minutes, performed without intermission.
Each performance will be followed by a post-performance talkback with the Persona creative team.
