Space Nunz of the Rescue Mainframe is a full-length, sci-fi andromedy that winks at the uncertainty of our legacy and the vastness of our shared digital gluttony while the audience votes on crucial moments changing the course of the play in real time of two families inextricably linked - Iranian immigrants and blue blooded New Englanders - and their inevitable collision.

Reviews
“Empowering and pleasantly unpredictable. . . worth your while to come back and see another performance so as to catch more of the possible plot lines.”
“With Space Nunz, the redoubtable Hook & Eye balances the riotous and the reflective in an entertainingly energetic exploration of outer and inner space.”
“There are absurd tangents the story flies off on, and quiet touching moments of emotional depth, all handled adroitly by the actors as a team, playing off of and with each other to present an entertaining, surprising, thought-provokingly interactive evening, It’s a rich play that can be seen several times and still not reveal all of its nuances.”
