Review:

Embark on a unique journey aboard New York City's Staten Island Ferry guided solely by a pair of headphones and the Ferry Play app. Immerse yourself in a site-specific, multi-sensory podplay tailored for the iconic Staten Island Ferry route. As you depart, engage with the recorded production that intricately weaves the surroundings - sights, scents, and sounds - into a compelling narrative. Delve into a blend of historical echoes and contemporary whispers, prompting introspection on your presence in this live performance staged within the vibrant pulse of the Big Apple.

• Ferry Play offers a customizable experience allowing you to set your own schedule. Whether opting for a late-night voyage, seizing the early morning tranquility, or anything in between, you wield control over the chosen day and time, thereby influencing the unfolding narrative. Act 1 unfolds during the journey from Manhattan to Staten Island, while Act 2 transpires on the return trip from Staten Island to Manhattan.

This innovative pursuit exemplifies podplays as a rising theatrical genre leveraging mobile technology to craft immersive, location-specific audio-driven spectacles.
