    Not a single line is wasted in this vivid, brilliant short play- the arc is gripping, the characters whole, and the conversation urgent. In 12 pages, Cato manages to construct a layered world punctuated by hilarious moments. Nothing short of incredible!

    Thought provoking talk all leading up to the last few powerful moments with the paper/machine malfunction.

    With characters immediately likable and resonant, Cato builds a world behind the scenes that we all know is all-too real, all-too common. Sharp, funny dialogue underscores the desperation here, the high stakes and mourning for plausible, unreachable futures that neither man can trace, even in imagination, except in his repetitive company with the other. A powerful commentary, finely crafted. Brilliant work.
