ABOUT THIS PRODUCTION

Written by acclaimed playwright and actor Wallace Shawn (The Princess Bride, My Dinner with Andre), The Fever places the audience inside the spiraling consciousness of an individual whose privileged life is destabilized by a reckoning with suffering, violence, and complicity on a global scale. Delivered with striking intimacy, the play dissolves the boundary between speaker and listener, transforming the theatre into a shared moral space where comfort is challenged and certainty erodes.
