BRENDA WINTER certified reviewer June 23, 2019
I am so glad we came the other night. The play is so innovative and the cause so essential. I just read an article in Time magazine about the efforts of Pacific island nations to unify the world in this urgency to rid us of coal, etc. They spearheaded the effort behind 2015 Paris Agreement. And, of course, “45” has withdrawn us from it. Fiji has already lost homes and land and will need to relocate 40 affected coastal villages. Did you see that article? I loved the line in the play using “global warming” instead of the republican “climate change” which suggests this nightmare is just part of natural happenings. I appreciated the emphasis on “not here” so why worry? So glad you brought the info to me. ... full review

Through vignettes that bring to life various headlines about global warming, Octopi Wall Street makes a strong statement about the perils of not taking action to reduce man made climate change.... full review

I absolutely loved this production. It was beautifully written; an intelligent, intellectual, hilarious, self-aware, and poignant snapshot of the far-reaching effects of climate change. This show is a must-see!... full review

The acting was wonderful, the costumes were fun, the writing was nails-on-a-chalkboard bad. ... full review
