The premise and stakes of the story are genuinely strong, and setting a very current issue in a future, space-set world is an interesting move, though I'd push back on calling it "sci-fi," since the label felt more like marketing than a description of what the show actually is.

The emotional core rang true throughout and was clearly the strongest choice in the piece, even if the message felt heavy-handed and repeated more than it needed to; a bit more trust in the audience would go a long way. The male lead delivers a strong performance, and I loved the choice to make the manager a bot. The female lead's performance started at full intensity and had nowhere left to build over the hour, which flattened some of the tension elsewhere. Staging-wise, it felt rigid and leans more on set, props, and projections than it needs to, especially since the projections undercut a big reveal that would have hit harder without them. At 60 minutes, this felt like it could be tightened to 45. The playwright has a strong emotional instinct, and just needs some more seasoning in pacing and craft to fully land it.
