If it were up to Reza, he would never have had a corporate career. He would have been one of the biggest names in the music industry. But reality is often disappointing. Stuck working at his desk job, his three band members are the only link he has to his musical aspirations. When a music festival at Woodhill Park offers an opportunity to reconnect with his band members, experience live performances from popular artists, and explore his love for music, he jumps at it. At the festival, Reza bumps into characters that take him on a journey of self-discovery and growth, challenging his passion, ambition, and perspective about music and fame as he learns shocking truths about the ominous Vitality Media company, the sponsors of the festival, and a household name in entertainment. Discover more in Jack Bennett’s Dancing with Delirium: The Woodhill Park Experience.

Bennett immersed me in the cast’s world with vivid imagery, shifting between introspection and dialogue. The use of metaphors alongside the vivid depictions created a thin line between reality and imagination, adding a dream-like quality to the scenes. The edge of exaggeration in the conversations highlights the humor. All this made it easier to understand the themes Bennett explores, including disillusionment with success, corporate influence and control, friendship, the search for identity and purpose, and so much more. Reza is like any other aspiring artist with a genuine love for music. Their big dreams and longing for success often drive them to go hard after what they want. Some “do whatever it takes” to make it. But if throwing your integrity and dignity away, and perhaps selling your soul, is the ticket to achieving your dreams, then is the dream worth it? Comedy lovers will find Jack Bennett’s Dancing with Delirium an enthralling read.
