About Last Big Mistake

In one savage night in the summer of ’75, Lola Knight and Roxy Aguilar make a series of increasingly awful decisions, all of them surrounding a strange little package they were hired to transport. Meanwhile, the rightful owner of that package is in town, bent on revenge and leaving a trail of bodies in his murderous wake as he searches for his property. Lola and Roxy fight their way across town; and though the night is over, their troubles have only just begun. They really can’t remember their first big mistake, but it’s likely they won’t forget their last big mistake.

The Sound Design

The following media is best experienced using headphones.
The "Thing" Sound
​The play follows a quest to get payed for a strange little package that  Lola Knight and Roxy Aguilar have stole. The package is later opened and is beautiful, but never defined as a recognizable object.

The City Environment
The city played a big part in telling the story of Lola Knight and Roxy Aguilar. The busyness of the city in some of the places they visited contrasted the more sparse and secluded places. The portrayal of this through sound was helpful in communicating the danger of the places Lola Knight and Roxy Aguilar find themselves. 
The Assassin
There is an assassin looking for the mysterious "thing." Before he kills someone he will look at his pocket watch and the following audio plays.
