Tremendous world building here by Ray. It's a curious menace indeed, the presence of the Observer, and certain occurrences in the play cause us to doubt the meaning, the validity, of its existence, which makes the dystopian dread that much more effective. The play's climax is incredible in terms of challenging us to accept the alternate reality of which we are presented. The influences of Orwell, Huxley, Atwood, et al, can all be found here and contribute well to the play's overall milieu. I'm a fan of dystopia, and "The Observer" is an excellent addition to the genre.
