    The title caught my attention and the play kept it throughout. Such a clever and inventive commentary on political and social divisiveness. Loved the humour, the recognition of the games (as a Brit I had to google one!) and especially the audience involvement and the 'choose your adventure' feel. Would love to be in the audience for this.

    Man, I just love this play & Young's writing and would love to be in the audience for this play. This clever, nuanced commentary on society through familiar/childhood games is such a delicious treat to read. The audience is in for so many surprises, I can't wait to see a production of this one day!

    The subtext of Adult Competitive Playground GO! is such a delight, particularly in today's political climate.
    I loved it and laughed out loud more than once.
