“ This play is intense, surprising, intimate, beautiful, and heartbreaking. Oliveira not only establishes two vividly-realized main characters and a compelling relationship, but also an entire dystopian world illustrated solely through well-chosen details about those characters' lives. I love how the piece also works for me as haunting sci-fi as well as a figurative exploration of the suffocating nature of relationships, the dual paradise-purgatory of infatuation and desire, or any number of intersectionally rich readings one can make. The pacing and structure is engrossing, the images bold, and the characters' evolving relationship fascinating. I'd love to see it live! ”
