My overall impression
This is a smart show.
It’s brilliantly framed and all of the actors are on stage the whole time, when they’re not being used, they’re lined up against the back wall plugged into their phones. Except for the one character who only has a flip phone and doesn’t know what a hashtag or instagram or twitter is. In fact, for most of the play he’s in the back with the others, except he’s reading a book. And I don’t think it’s an accident that his chair is actually a stool, and he’s higher than the rest of the cast. He also seems to be able to communicate more clearly with actual humans face to face. Which is a brilliant contrast to all of the other characters who do get caught up in their digital worlds.
This is a clever story and a smart script. The acting and direction are all outstanding. Worth your time and money.
