I've been dissing immersive theater a lot lately, but this show looks pretty good.  It purports to involve the (offensively misogynist) Prometheus and Pandora myths (which this production will no doubt critique), kidnapping, bureaucratic systems, and torture by snowball.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Usual drill:  lots of stands and food trucks (and a beer garden) on Governors Island.  For the inevitable (at least for me) cocktail after you've returned to the bigger islands on the ferry, Dead Rabbit has now reopened near the Manhattan landing; The Long Island Bar near the Brooklyn.
