NEW YORK—The planes of fantasy, reality, and make-believe are beautifully brought together in the absolutely brilliant production by Complicite of “The Encounter,” a one-man show now at Broadway’s John Golden Theatre.

Conceived, directed, and performed by Simon McBurney (co-conceived by Kirsty Housley) and inspired by the book “Amazon Beaming” by Petru Popescu, the show expertly combines humor, drama, and sound effects wizardry.

A brilliant tour de force on multiple levels.
