Numb is a play about the history of anesthesiology told through a trio of stories woven together with sound, movement, and dialogue. It is a play about our relationship to pain. Numb looks at the ecstasy and intoxication of drugs that alter human consciousness in the quest for pain-free surgery, and the often forgotten human stories that accompany advancement.
Numb received three 2015 Big Easy Awards for Best Ensemble, Best Original Work (Devised) and Best Sound Design (Kyle Sheehan).
