WINNER! Outstanding Play, FringeNYC 2009
After a smash hit run at the New York International Fringe Festival, Viral, the dark comedy by Mac Rogers, returns as part of the FringeNYC Encore Series.
A woman googles "painless suicide" and finds the people who will help her end her life - if she will let them film it. And sell it. Viral is a frank, humane and surprisingly funny look at some very complex issues—assisted suicide, fetish, dignity and privacy in the age of viral videos, where there’s nothing so twisted that it doesn’t have an audience.
