Death Did Not Part Them, and Some People Don’t Like It

"The production, buoyantly directed by Michael Unger, has crack technical contributions, including a digital wall from the scenic designer, Kris Stone, and David Bengali’s projections, which enable Mr. Noseworthy, on a huge monitor, to interact with other actors via a live video feed from offstage. Mr. Noseworthy himself is a fascinating blend of boyish charm and blindered techno-fanaticism. But the show’s beating heart is Ms. Graves, who reminds us that technological wonders can never approach the warmth of human performance."

Two Point Oh Review: Life After Death as a Computer

"...But 'Two Point Oh', directed by Michael Unger and presented by The Active Theater through October 20, is largely a satisfying work of theater.

"In Jeffrey Jackson’s Two Point Oh, Elliot Leeds (Jack Noseworthy) is a billionaire software designer whose plane crashes while in mid-argument (via teleconference) with his wife Melanie (Karron Graves). Melanie has only begun to plumb the depths of her grief when a mysterious package arrives: a disk with instructions in Elliot’s handwriting. Following them, Melanie activates what is perhaps Elliot’s greatest creation: a self-aware, software-based simulation of himself. Is this truly his final “gift” for Melanie (as the virtual Elliot insists), merely a clever toy (as Elliot’s estranged business partner Ben Robbins [James Ludwig] suspects), or something far more powerful — and dangerous?..."

2.0 Brings a Updated View to Life

"...a fascinating new play.  It is based on a futuristic premise, but addresses the current problem people have trying to connect with each other.  Science Fiction is one of the hardest genres to do well in the theater, but TWO_POINT_OH handles it beautifully.  Much of the credit has to go to the cast and creative crew that bring a future both immediate and believable..."

Two Point Oh - Love in the Time of Technology

"Two Point Oh, by Jeffrey Jackson, is a truly fascinating play, tailor made for the Information Technology world we live in, yet very much an old-fashioned morality tale. It raises serious issues – about technology, about marriage — but in a humorous, often satiric, way, and takes its audience on an intriguing journey full of surprises..."
