The Neo-Futurists’ original short works draw on performers’ lives and the present, with room for comedy, topical material, unsettling turns and song. The Andersonville run is listed through Jan. 31.

The Neo-Futurarium describes THE INFINITE WRENCH as 30 short plays in 60 minutes—a format built around quick shifts rather than one continuous story. The event listing says the original pieces take their cues from performers’ lived experience and the here and now.
The tone can vary from comic or topical to unsettling, and a song may be part of the mix. That range is useful to know if you are choosing between a conventional narrative play and a show made up of shorter, distinct pieces.
The company describes the series as taking on new plays each week. The listing does not name the pieces for particular dates, so there is no date-by-date title preview to consult.
