A very well written play, with accessible and engaging characters. The play has a very interesting plot line and allows you to create your own vision of this dystopian reality... I like how the play has been created with a full range of performance venues/casts/budgets etc – making at a very versatile performance option. It is a brilliantly familiar story, mixing echoes of Jekyll and Hyde/Hunger Games and other dystopian modern cinema. The characters are accessible to a range of young actors and offers a lot of scope for developing acting skills... It is an interesting exploration into a very topical debate between the rise of technology and the natural order. It also touches on democracy/rule of law and other social constructs... Would make an excellent school play.
