Recenzii

The cry of protest it invokes is a strong one against the inequalities we all condone by our continued failure to do anything about them.
Down with bailed-out banks, student loans, racist cops - oh, and Boris.
. . . its political message is both refreshingly complex and important . . . This is exactly the sort of brave theatrical event that we need to see more of at the National.
Our sympathy is never lost . . . and the audience are kept constantly on their toes.
It is an intelligent look at the Occupy movement from its fringe. The monologue highlights the contradictions inherent in the movement related to idealism and realism. And how difficult it is to position oneself in the place of the other. Imaginative use of audience participation in that respect, so that the issue of empathy may transfer to the spectators.
