“Employing shocking situations and absurd humor, the spirited ensemble cast uses contemporary American accents to give the listener the feel that this bizarre 1984-like world isn’t just in the past but could happen anytime, anywhere. Devastating, thought-provoking listening. Recorded before a live West Hollywood audience in September 2022.”
