Rarely is a contemporary tragedy so well-structured that you experience that visceral, rock-in-the-gut, audible "OH NO" moment that contextualizes the entire play and brings the themes into relief in sudden, stark detail. With that said, everything leading up to that disarming moment is an atmospheric treat, full of subtle apocalyptic worldbuilding that comes through bit by bit. Ultimately, this is a story about how very dangerous ignorance can be and why growth and development are so crucial to the business of humanity. Gorgeous characters, incredible stage pictures, and thought-provoking moments that will make you grateful for all you have.

A stellar play. I adore the investigation of how apocalypse might stunt child development. The ending is a jaw-dropper-- inevitable, but genuinely shocking. Groustra has a gift for planting narrative breadcrumbs.

An absolute gut-punch knockout of a play. Radio Man surehandedly weaves together loss, displacement, and the dangerous blindness of innocence into a tight, compelling sci-fi drama led by three young girls. I'll be thinking about that ending for a very long time...
