What a masterfully drawn portrait of what happens to a Cassandra after she's run out of adults to warn about the danger they've caused & has to pitch her message straight to the children they've endangered.

This is one of my favourite plays. What locks me into it is not just the pitch-perfect black comedy of Miss Katelyn's amazing/horrifying teaching techniques, but that Elena writes her with such empathy that your heart breaks for her even as your fear about her reaches a fever pitch. This is a smart, scary and beautiful gut-punch of a play.

Reading this pitch black comedy was an absolute delight while also making me look hard at a huge question we face today. How do we keep children safe in a terrible world while also guarding their innocence? This play needs to be produced for the discussions that will ensue.
