I listened to this fascinating and thought-provoking play on the Parsnip Ship. I’m extremely intrigued by the world that Greg Lam has so carefully and cleverly constructed here. I also love the ethical questions and quandaries that Lam proposes with this play: Can science go too far in its attempts to improve humanity? Or are we humans responsible by turning to science to erase our flaws? Check this one out!

Brilliant theatrical sci-fi! Good science fiction takes the issues of the society from which it's born and refracts them back with a fantastical lens, and "Repossessed" does just that. The memory and persona altering technology employed in this play provides an elegant, straightforward, and yet complex metaphor for the ways we change ourselves to appease partners and friends, the ways we change and adapt as adults to further our own goals, and the tensions and interactions between those two tendencies. All of the characters are vividly rendered and Gretchen's journey, particularly, is compelling and surprising start to finish.

'Repossessed' is a mind-bending, fast-moving, and fascinating take on what it means to love a person, including ourselves. A fun and intriguing read from beginning to end.
