“Co-directors Mikayla Hosking and Liam Wallis set the tone before the play began with a massive screen above the stage that displayed the current global population (8.1 billion and counting), and the numbers kept going up as the play progressed (although they also went back down at times in surreal, through the looking glass moments). A pre-show ticking sound accompanying the screen count helped to put the audience on edge, serving as a sort of ticking time bomb, and the tension it created didn’t really let up for the show’s duration.”

“It is great to see quality independent theatre being produced in Brisbane and I appreciated the accessibility of making tickets free. Huge respect for independent theatre-makers taking risks and staging unseen works on Brisbane stages. May they continue in all their glory.”
