An invitation to a mysterious theatrical performance changes the lives of two women in Adam Rapp’s riveting new audio play The Cube. Magda, an upper-class White woman, is shocked to the core by what she sees—and questions her complicity. Ruth, a Black woman who played a role in the show, is thrilled to be part of it—until she discovers her performance is all too convincing. Directed by Whitney White, a visceral and truly immersive audio experience that tackles issues of race, privilege, and cultural blindness.

Confusing, mesmerizing, poignant.
Somewhat hard to follow, but intriguing nonetheless, twisty and beautifully narrated

Strange and intriguing

Some stories need a definite ending to be complete and/or satisfying. This does not. Both Acts are deliberate and delicious and captivating. Maybe you have to be a person on a journey to understand it’s meaning but I don’t think so. I think you just have to be a person who loves how art makes you feel.

Wonderful!!!

I only listened to a few minutes and had to stop. I’ll admit to being a grammar snob. First she said “haphazardly” as “halfhazardly”. I thought to myself that it was one word, and soldiered on. Then (about 2 sentences later) she pronounced “mumu” as “mew mew”. I’m finished.

Grammar snobs, read my review.

The narrators are great, story is good, but the music suddenly blasting during transition paragraphs is just distracting and ruins the whole mood. If that were changed, it would be worthy of 4 stars.

Sound design is terrible.

The transitioning music is jarring if you are listening with headphones. But it was ok.

Enjoyed the story

So, I have to admit that I almost stopped listening. Act 1 - weird, but I listened. Act 2 - the beginning left me confused, but at then end it comes together and really makes you think. It reminds me a bit of twilight zone or black mirror. Very good and not too long. Perfect length.

I thought this was going to be a thought provoking story with secrets and excitement but it went totally flat with tellings of mundane events not even worthy of story telling so disappointing that I waisted my time listening to the end waiting for the punch line and there was none.

started off strong but then went flat
