    This play is an empathetic, unflinching and unsettling exploration, and extrapolation, of our present woes, which effectively puts us in the desperate situation of its protagonist. While the political territory is all too familiar, the play is extremely creepy and disturbing in its musing about just how bad things could get.

    It's very rooted in the present moment which has the potential to date quickly, but Juntunen cleverly, and credibly, suggests our problems have no quick solutions in sight.
