Two unique performers, Quinten Quintero and Derek Van Barham, have cultivated their own highly personal interpretations of the script by Wallace Shawn and designed an experience tailored for your living room. As the tale of this seductive, haunting monologue unfolds, the familiar comfort of your home will be transformed before your eyes, colored by the poetry and immediacy of this sharply written play. While visiting a poverty-stricken country far from home, the unnamed narrator of The Fever is forced to witness the political persecution occurring just beyond a hotel window. In examining a life of comfort and relative privilege, the narrator reveals, "I always say to my friends, We should be glad to be alive. We should celebrate life. We should understand that life is wonderful." But how does one celebrate life take pleasure in beauty, for instance while slowly becoming aware that the poverty and oppression of other human beings are a direct consequence of one's own pleasurable life? The Island has chosen to produce this thought-provoking piece as an in-home experience to create an intimate evening where dramatic entertainment, the exchange of ideas, and the spirit of questioning can be shared more personally between audience and artist.
***This event is for booking Derek Van Barham ONLY. If you would like to book Quinten Quintero, please see his individualized event. Each actor has a custom performance schedule.
