THE MISSION

You’re inside the sunken, pulverized body of the German-commissioned submarine, U-401, after fighting like hell for a country you’re not sure you believe in anymore. It’s the Spring of 1943. The world is at war above your head, but you’re 200 meters below the surface of the ocean. 2 million pascals of force squeeze the vessel around you, conspiring to crush you beyond all recognition. You’re surrounded by your dead fellow crewmen. The battery is dying. The oxygen is running out.

And there’s a monster on board with you.

“This world would not be imaginable without the brilliant work of set designer Sandy Yaklin, sound designer Jeanne Travis, light designer Morgan Zipf-Meister, costume designer Ben Philipp, and gore effects designer Stephanie Cox-Williams.  Together they made Nat Cassidy’s play, a horrorshow of the claustrophobic lives of German submariners and the evil that consumes them, a living, breathing, immersive spectacle.  They make the horror of the sea, of WWII, and of the Lovecraftian-influenced Gnostic psychodrama all too real.” -  Michael Niederman - NewYorkTheatreReview.blogspot.com

“The true hero of the evening is Ben Philipp, the costume designer, whose creation of a pair of 15 foot long trousers (that fit the actor quite beautifully, all things considered) is pretty amazing.” - nytheatre.com
