In the Devil's Hands

Immersive New Play IN THE DEVIL’S HANDS

Performing at the New Performance Space Zoopraxic in Long Island City

After a series of attacks in the Channel Islands in the 1940s, local gossips target a young agricultural worker. Determined to prove his innocence he gets his friend to row him out to some uninhabited rocks and leave him there in the middle of the sea. As the seasons pass it gets harder to return and each night the performers get to choose whether it’s worth returning home again. 

Written, directed and designed by Helen Banner, with layers of voices from the past and present, this intimate production will feature live sound performance by composer Joshua Dumas. 

The cast of In the Devil’s Hands features Rory Greenwood, Umer Khan, and Phoebe Lloyd, with voiceover performances by Helen Banner and Joshua Dumas.

In the Devil’s Hands runs until June 14 with performances, Wednesday through Friday at 7pm, Saturday’s at 3pm and 7pm, and Sunday’s at 4pm. Running time: 90 minutes (no intermission). Please note, there is no matinee performance on Saturday, May 23 and no 7pm performance on Wednesday, May 27, Thursday, June 11, and Friday June 12.
