    This was akin to the pop culture sensation of watching Jenny Ortega house the hottest of hot wings without batting an eye. This play is here to throw haymakers. I loved the female characters, particularly resigned Claire and gloriously bitter Abby. The writing is extremely relevant as we watch billionaires demolish the country. The science fiction is crispy and box fresh. And that ending… truly haunting stuff.

    The quest for eternal life is nothing new but Massoud is able to depict in such an original way. Massoud does a great job at depicting the Regimen as something understandable to modern audiences while also keeping an air of mystery around it. I loved the conversations that are happening here around the ethics of this procedure. I was so compelled by Zack's rationalizations and objections to certain aspects but even I could see those were only temporary. This plays features great roles for MENA actors and I'd love to see it produced.
