This play is brilliant. It takes a skilled hand to guide an audience through such a wild imagined landscape, keep them laughing, & make them face centuries of violence & injustice all at the same time. Lisa Langford does all of the above & more here, deftly intertwining ideas of slavery-robotics-genetics-ancestry through the lives of characters that, while touched with the fantastic, feel absolutely real within the world of the play, & relatable to the world outside of it.
