Live a Brooklyn Noir!

No, don't murder someone in the heat of passion and then start calling everyone "pal" and "dame." Or do, who am I, your mother? Anyway, this Brick Theater production is harnessing the awesome power of the Zune to bring a noir production to life:

Told via Zune MP3 Media Players, the story unfolds as audience members (only four at a time) are guided through their roles with both aural and visual cues. Video flashbacks and narrative voiceovers fill in your backstory while maps of locations and your dialogue are displayed on screen. Part theatrical experience, part live video game, Suspicious Package immerses its audience within the gritty chiaroscuro world of film noir, where not everything is black and white.

Suspicious Package, Brick Theater (575 Metropolitan Ave), $20, Saturdays and Sundays at 4pm, starts June 1, 60 minutes
