There is a wonderful power in being taken into a hidden world in a play, and in Kautzman's riveting "Moderation," we are plunged into the world of content moderators: the nameless individuals who remove the traumatic and disturbing images from social media. The play is a gripping two-hander, with beautiful lines, and a complex, ever-evolving relationship played out on stage. Kautzman's style blazes on every page.

I saw this read at Valdez Theatre Conference and was struck by the wit and tension throughout. Thoroughly enjoyed the dialogue, language, and dark clouds of shifting power dynamics.

I haven't read a two - hander with this kind of dark precision since I read Mike Bartlett's "Contractions". By precision I mean the gleaming language, the wit, the overall structure, but also the specificity of the nightmare he invites us to enter. A nightmare which we thought we already knew because we live it every day on the internet, but discover it's so much worse than we thought.
