My aboute favorite episode on the Twilight Zone is the Midnight Sun and Vaughn writes what could be a sequel to that television classic here with M and the Water Man. A continuation of that theme of the world moving closer to the sun and yet the nightmare doesn’t go away as with that television show but stays with you at the end. Well done!

I am generally not a sci-fi fan or a fan of plays about romantic love, but this play pulled me in with its honesty, its sense of ritual (yes!), its language/pacing/rhythms, its strangeness and its urgency. I like the ideas in the play that feel epic even in such a short period of time. Well done!

Through every tragedy and every crisis, love endures. Hannah Vaughn creates a world of spare language where nothing is wasted like you don't waste water in a desert. It may well all be ending and nights grow longer with days so endlessly long, but through it all love endures. It's a wonderful play living in circumstances that are all too frighteningly possible, and the playwright creates a scenario that is all too human in its response to the crisis.
