    This is a fascinating, formally inventive short that illustrates, in bone-chilling detail, how a terrible tragedy so quickly becomes distorted by the impenetrable noise of our media, our politics - resulting in a paralyzed discourse that helps perpetuate systemic failure. This is a truly unique, highly conceptual take on how injustice is allowed to thrive in an information ecosystem that obscures and undermines clarity at every turn. Must read and produce - a play meant for NOW!

    A powerful piece of theatre that gives voice to the silenced third world in a community. Well done.

    Stylized cacophony of city voices complaining, ranting, arguing, all of it intensitying like city noises do on a crazy night. The information, the questions, the awfulness, it's overwhelming - and that's the point. The play wakes you up like sirens do. I don't recommend reading each column at a time. From top to bottom, scan the play with your eyes like you do on Facebook, reading a bit of some report on a similar tragedy. Read it and hear whatever lines stand out, just like what's overheard on sidewalks, like snippets from police officers and passersby.
