800 Words is wild ride into the mind of visionary science
fiction writer Philip K. Dick,
which happens to include-
a
phantom twin,
a secret
agent man,
a talking cat
and the voice of God.
"Insanity is sometimes an appropriate response to
reality." - Philip K. Dick
Whose reality, or fantasy, are we watching onstage? Whose reality are we living?
Was Philip K Dick a visionary or madman? Blurring the lines between
reality and perception,
800 Words: The Transmigration of Philip K. Dick is a
reinvention of the last days of this
legendary writer.
Based on a true story, the play begins just as PhilipÕs novel
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is to be released as the Hollywood
film Blade Runner.
If you like a firm line between art and entertainment, reality and
fantasy, us versus them,
prepare to have your mind blown by the darkly funny and absurd
journey that is Victoria StewartsÕ
800 Words: The Transmigration of Philip K Dick.

Stewart and directed by Jess Smith.
