The genius of this play, I think, is that Schatz sets it in a void, and paints the "real world" in the negative, doling out small details to suggest what's going on outside. Bobby himself is a tragic, well-meaning character who is trapped in the framework of the capitalistic system that created him. We eventually realize that the void is actually where Bobby lives full time, an instance of intelligence for whom Dina is the whole world, summoned only at her whim. Heartbreaking.

Dear Theatres, You want to produce this play. It is smart and clever and full of emotion and very much of our time. Matt quickly hits the core of the questions we're all asking ourselves about our work, our loves and our world. It should be on your stage.
