Dead Air - Review

Dead Air is a one-woman piece about a world where services exist that bring loved ones back from the dead in the form of AI holograms. However, the lead character can only pay for so much time with her AI-regenerated father, and so she is on the clock to process her mother becoming engaged to her dad's best friend.

The show brilliantly uses a voice modulator to switch back and forth between her, the father, and the helpline from the AI company. Alfie is so excited to have her dad back at first she starts to overshare the happenings in her life and then starts trying to find comfort and honesty from him.

She does not have a strong relationship with her mom, or her mom's new fiance, and is unhappy with her current job at the age of 38.

All of this tension builds to her breaking out at the engagement party.

The show has a sophisticated, yet approachable script with a smooth and smart performance by Alfrun Rose.

The show, unfortunately, falls a bit short with the sudden ending of her time with her father and the absolutely outlandish to the point of cringe happening at the engagement party.

However, the story is good, and there are some hilarious moments.
