Viral is that rare play that can have you rolling in the aisles with laughter before punching you in the face. This is tricky subject matter, however this crew pulls off what could be two hours of tedious "edginess" with aplomb and left this audience member moved and a bit shaken. All aspects of this production-writing, acting and direction are superb and come together to create a truly great theater going experience.

In Mac Rogers' engrossing Viral, at the SoHo Playhouse, a woman's search for a way to end her life has surprising meaning for a quartet of strangers who live hundreds of miles away. Meredith (played with quiet intensity and a depth of emotion by Amy Lynn Stewart) does an Internet search on the phrase "painless suicide," and comes into contact with a website run by Colin (Kent Meister) with the aid of brother-sister team Geena (Rebecca Comtois) and Jarvis (Matthew Trumbell). Their online chat about Meredith's desire to die ultimately turns in[...]
