    “I Spy” explores themes of friendship, survival, and the unpredictability of life. The theme of preparedness for unknown challenges is also woven into the narrative. The bomb shelter becomes a metaphor for the uncertainties the characters face, and their reactions bring out both humor and contemplation.

    They already had the supplies and the survivalist shelter, so all they needed was an actual crisis.... and it doesn't take Tyler & Alex very long to find one. This charming comedy is an absolute delight. And it would be such fun(yun) to bring to life on stage!

    There's always something comically enjoyable about someone freaking out over a ridiculous situation. Add on to that continued talk about repopulating the world, a game of I Spy, and one friend continuing to feed the other's anxiety, and you're in for a fun time. (Pro-tip: if you accidentally read one of the two boys as maybe a bit queer, there's an added layer of interest in the whole situation.)
