This Is My Office – Location, Tickets, Reviews
The Play Company kicks off its 2013-14 season with This Is My Office, a site-specific play by Andy Bragen.
As the name suggests, This Is My Office is set in an office. David Barlow, the sole performer, takes the audience on a guided tour, during which he opens up about his private life – frustrations at work, difficulties with love, and feelings about his recently-deceased father, with whom he had a lot – perhaps too much – in common.
This is My Office is an unconventional theatrical event that is immersive and intimate in nature. More than just guiding the audience, Andy makes eye contact and checks on the well-being of audience members. The story starts slowly but by the end of this distinct production the experience is heartfelt and stirring. Given the small setting, tickets are limited.

Theater Pizzazz
Overall, this site-specific performance is subtle and well-executed.
Time Out New York
A site-specific artist’s tale seems dislocated.
