Lucy experiences persistent overstimulation of her sight and proprioception. Elizabeth wants a child, but cannot manage. Dr. Baskanios thinks the modern theory of sight is dangerously misguided. They all tell themselves stories to make sense of their surroundings. Some stories come true. Some have been true all along. Some still happen, but don't have a lick of truth about them. Then, the grotesque fairy arrives...

    Truly, truly an unbelievable play. I've never encountered anything like it. Comas wields a singular voice that bursts with acute intelligence, a unique and theatrical perception of the world, and a cavalcade of myths waiting to be invented. A rare example of a play where density soars.

    QUESTIONS THAT HAVE ANSWERS is a shattering piece of theatre that continues to blow my mind days later. Laia's play challenges, engages, and startles; she has such an eye for nuance and strangeness that creates amazing possibilities for actors and other members of a creative team. The set itself is exciting, with physical stage moments reminiscent of Rivera's CLOUD TECTONICS. I'm desperate to see the way this play progresses and the success it will inevitably have. If you're looking for someone to push you and challenge your preconceptions, look no further than Eulália Comas.
