In this special episode of TheatreQs, Nate Wiley Productions, the Rigby Theater Company, and Theatre Arts Tucson bring you a radio-play-style production of Isis Rivenbark’s “Spiral.” “There's no comprehensive and good and right way to tell a story. Just the way it’s told. And the way I tell it… Is by telling it.” A professor named Henry is sent on a leave of absence by his administrator. Thinking it will help relieve his mind of tireless, spiraling thoughts and memories, he takes a hot air balloon ride. His memories, however, come crashing back down along with the balloon. Join Henry and spiral with him, a veritable Ouroboros, a turn of phrase, an idiom.
Warning: There are topics of death and mental health issues in this episode, which may be triggering to some. Listener discretion is advised.
