A space mission goes disastrously wrong in this adaptation of an existential short story. It's a little darker than the typical Fringe fare, but Wayward Theatre Company handles the text masterfully, and director Sarah Nargang shows an incredible ear for well-timed silences and dynamic shifts in mood. On a tiny stage, the actors employ physicality in a smart way, with a concisely choreographed orchestration of bodies and lights in space. (10 p.m., Mon., 7 p.m. Thu., 2:30 p.m. Sat., Huge Theater, 3037 Lyndale Av. S., Mpls.)
