What I didn't like
While the show’s complicated scene changes went smoothly, daylight bleeding onto the stage from actors’ entrances through an outside door were distracting and interfered with Tilda Mingyo Seo’s resourceful lighting design. Not sure if this was the production’s fault or an issue the venue manager needs to address.
My overall impression
Mason Ma’s and Amy Dong’s comedy spins it’s wheels through two scenes set in the past before finding traction in a final scene set in a near future where AI has taken control of every part of daily life, including use of the commode. John Jiang’s genial LAFD firefighter and father stands out along with Jinyao Zhao’s Ashley, who gets what’s coming to her when Artificial Intelligence attempts to dominate her life in the same way she tried to supervise those around her in previous scenes.
