The Targeted Individuals are a group of people who believe that the government has implanted chips into their brains and are using the chips to torture, track, and control them. They have all gathered at a conference to organize their efforts.
Hanna Kime has written a fantastic play that starts off very funny until it gets quite dramatic. The audience goes from laughter to empathy. It’s an exploration of whether you can still love someone with a completely different worldview.
At 95 minutes, it would be nice to have an intermission. There are plenty of scene changes where it can be easily added. Join the Pro-Intermission movement here.
Lawrence Grimm (Turret) is excellent as the leader of the group, who does his best to convince the non-TIs of their suffering. Kirsten Fitzgerald (The Cave, In Quietness) is superb as the very intense member who jumps to action quickly. Natalie West (The Cave, Revolution) is so funny as the one who lives in storage units. Sadieh Rifai (You Will Get Sick) is great as the wife whose husband doesn’t believe her. Glenn Obrero (The Chinese Lady) is great as the brother who is very excited to meet other just like him. Lastly, Stephanie Shum (Revolution) is stellar as the sister who is there to support her brother, but also to confront the leader.
