Watching and hearing this "live radio play" adaptation, we process a confluence of the past (1940s) and present (2017). The two run simultaneously, a visual and aural parallel which adds to the fun. I felt strangely part of an absurdist time warp as observer and participant.

Kyle Jarrow has conceived a story that puts the show's appealing characters into a doomsday scenario encrusted, sea anemone-style, with a surprisingly persistent if easy to take sociopolitical edge.
