Andrew Martineau: The Users

It is amazing how topical this play is and how it most certainly will resonate with an audience in 2021, even though it is set almost a hundred years ago. Professional actors will clearly understand the conflict and subtext here, but Cooper has created a dramatic play that a broad audience will connect to. It is from another era, though, and fortunately Cooper’s dialogue perfectly captures the time and culture of the 1930s. I thoroughly enjoyed this play!
