Presented by American Repertory Theatre and World Music/CRASHarts, in association with the Loeb Drama Center.
A unique and riveting theatrical experience, Charlie Victor Romeo (CVR) is a live performance documentary derived entirely from the "black box" transcripts of six major real-life airline emergencies. Catapulting the audience into the tension-filled cockpits of actual flights in distress, CVR is a fascinating portrait of the psychology of crisis and a testament to the strength of the human spirit. After its 1999 New York debut, the play became an instant theatrical sensation with sold-out houses for eight months and enormous praise from the aviation community.
Running time: approximately 90 minutes, no intermission.
