'From the mind-bending, award-winning comedian who brought us ABC’s Choose Your Own Adventure, Unbelievable, and the feature film Sucker, Lawrence Leung has devised an ingenious new cocktail of hilarious stunts, immersive experiments, and real-life Jedi mind tricks.
'This live, online performance takes place on two sides of a screen – Lawrence’s and yours. Performed over Zoom, this unique interactive comedy gives you the best seats in the house – that is, in your house.
'Viewers will be guided through mini- experiences where the idea of ‘connection’ is explored in increasingly awesome and wicked ways. Can participants read each other’s minds through a screen? Will complete strangers discover remarkable coincidences? Are we all connected?
'All you need is an internet connection, a device, and your favourite chair.'

Author's note: 'I created "Connected" during lockdown to try to answer a simple question: how can we connect as strangers in these bizarre times? What this online show became far exceeded my expectations. Audience members from across the world, from the other side of screens, tore down the fourth wall with me for a night of unpredictable hilarity, impossible coincidences, and moving moments. I guarantee this will be your best Zoom meeting ever!' (Black Swan Theatre Company of WA 2022 season brochure.)
