    Walker puts a microscope on the urban scene, particularly on homelessness
    The way in which people are reduced to base instinct in our public places is spotlighted well. Adding ecological concerns adds to the poignancy of this short play.

    Lack of empathy is a bigger killer than any physical injury. Stephanie Alison Walker perfectly illustrates this with a tale of 2 characters finding the perfect spot until a third shows up in dire straits and a decision needs to be made. To help or hoard? THAT is the question here. And by presenting the characters as... different than you think at first, it presents an interesting test of empathy on the part of the audience as well. Some will want to reach out and others, they might not even be bothered to drop a little extra popcorn.

    Stephanie Alison Walker's HOMER is a chilling example of how humans will go against morality to survive in a world where good karma isn't always guaranteed.
