Before I Forget (work in progress)

What’s worse: forgetting who you are, or remembering every mistake? Before I Forget is the ferociously funny true tale about the impossibility of getting life right, told by a man trying to outrun his genes, his past, and his search history. Ancient Greece, artificial intelligence, Alzheimer’s disease, and open relationships all collide in a wildly inventive odyssey through memory, mortality and meaning.

Warning: May contain mushrooms, existential dread, and trace amounts of hope.

These are the final NYC work-in-progress performances before the show has its official premiere in San Francisco.

NOTE: Doors open 45 minutes before showtime, first-come, first-served seating.

Directed and developed by Jonathan Libman.

Produced by Carl Ford.

Written and performed (and lived) by Adam Strauss.
