Maran Talzen has lost it.
\nShe was ‘let\u00a0go’ from her social media job and is now managing the lobby at the Phoenix Theater. Still haunted by Digital Disruptors, she comes to realize that the Internet temptations and distractions are pulling apart her life.
\n“Stolen Focus”, the\u00a0book, opens her\u00a0mind to all the modern causes—and she decides to take command and give it all up.\u00a0 AND get her fractured family to do the same.<\/p>\n

Easy, right?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Based on\u00a0 \u201cStolen Focus\u201d by Johann Hari, Brenda Varda (writer) and Vanessa Brooke Agnes (director) — along with Colin Myles Edwards (choreographer) and the creative cast – have devised an evening that brings the \u2018circus\u2019 of digital life into a story that may seem familiar to many.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
