Good worldbuilding is like good sound design. If you’re not actively noticing it happening, you’re in the presence of a pro. Poynton’s addictive script is triply beautiful in genre savvy, construction, and character, & is one you need to know about. I left it musing on the many forms of sacrifice. Not just those we make for ourselves or others, but what we’re willing to part with or give up. And what it means to make those decisions in others’ stead, their permission be damned. Tremendous work.

This play is pure good sci-fi. A large and detailed setting, held together by complex and understandable characters, in a story that's strong emotionally and carries with it a painful warning towards our future. Melds the deep challenge of lightspeed travel into a narrative that weaves it with math, mental health, addiction, politics, identity, and inevitability.

Holy WOW, what an awesome script. So imaginative and powerful - transports us to a different and multi-dimensional world, but (as with all great sci-fi) the characters and challenges in this world are wildly relatable to our own. Would love to see this done!
