Three Sheets Productions’ 72 Hour Survival Guide employs live action, video, puppetry and coordinated movement to tell the story of six alienated characters quarantined during a virulent bird-flu epidemic. Along with boasting moments of surprising poignancy — thanks in large part to Lara Neumann’s believable depiction of a recluse with an unnatural attachment to her brother — the show also delivers decent laughs. If John Bryans’ paranoid cyber-geek vlogger doesn’t make you LOL, you’re bound to at least NA (Nod Appreciatively). Unfortunately, by ambitiously and unpredictably jumping from the sincere to the silly, 72 Hour Survival Guide fails to cultivate a consistent and convincing voice.
