One featured improviser will perform a one-person production, in which they play every character. The audience will choose the story: any book, film or play ever created. With only the help of a quick glance at the synopsis, will they create an entirely improvised, once-in-a-lifetime adaptation of the work in question. In this show the improviser has no safety-net, no partner, no one to help. All they have is their wit, talent and a room full of strangers watching them attempt the bravest act a performer can attempt.
