This is the kind of piece I love to see onstage. A tense two-hander with a sci-fi angle that doesn't seem so sci-fi the more you think about it. And while there can be a tendency to make a tech-driven play seem dry and uninteresting, Greg Burdick keeps the conversation lively and active while feeding you the tech part in a way that is engaging. I loved the idea of what those quarter machines are REALLY for. I played enough of them in my youth to connect with this wonderfully realized short piece.
