Tom Petty, rest his soul, was a very good guy in this movie "The moral of The Postman is that if we lost our civilization, we'd all come to realize how much we missed it, and would realize what a miracle it is simply to get your mail every day."
Locked down during COVID and desperate to make theatre, Piti Theatre’s Jonathan
Mirin turns the camera on . . . himself, telling the story of the
mysterious symptoms his life and production partner Godeliève began
experiencing a decade ago. Increasingly unable to leave the house and
take care of their new baby, the couple contends with the growing
likelihood that her illness is environmental – and inescapable. Godeliève‘s
severe neurological symptoms are triggered by exposure to the wireless
radiation that the rest of society is passionately embracing to connect
devices and upload cat videos. As her
electro-hypersensitivity (EHS), (a.k.a. “microwave sickness.”) worsened,
Mirin found himself compelled to become a public health advocate,
activist & petitioner in a landmark legal case against the FCC.
Like the crooked man who lived in a crooked house, it was the characterful, not to say skew-whiff, nature of the house that first drew him there: ‘It works quite well with the higgledy-piggledy of my collecting.’
