Extremely good, its many mini-scenes building a cumulative effect in a way only possible through the theatrical form - eight actors playing a succession of characters in an array of configurations and sometimes as briefly as only a few moments and half a dozen words of speech.
Love and information - and especially information - are woven through and in dialogue with a great deal of the everything else that shapes and concerns us as individuals in society (the focus is more on immediate human relationships and the self, and somewhat on questions of knowledge, than on wider issues of politics, society, culture and religion), and it's thought provoking and affecting, snappily written and executed but broad and open in its interests and ideas. Also, has a sense of humour.
Very strong cast including a number of familiar faces, some of which I could place and others needing some googling afterwards (the familiar-for-various-reasons included Zahra Newman, Alison Whyte and Anita Hegh). Must be a lot of fun, given the multiplicity of roles assumed by all of them throughout and the dynamically modular but simple set.
