    This is a wonderfully done play, nothing wasted, nothing padded, and the actors' voices were just right for the pasts.

      You noticed how unbearably screwed up we the people have been DUMPED. We don't exist, America is only about greed, corporations, evil politicians who do zero for anyone but themselves. Artists banished, books, education, being systematically abolished. Ignorance celebrated, ugliness status quo, no interest in helping anyone. What? I refuse this, I will never leave my house and be pushed around, forced to pay ruthless always rising costs for everything. fooooood

    I can only assume that most of the commentators below have never read a history book.
    The halcyon days of the 1950s that I suspect most think were wonderful were not. They might have been better in the US but probably not. They are an invention of the advertising industry.
    I recall the cold in winter, no central heating. The boring diet. I never even saw a bell pepper until the 1960s. Ice cream a rare treat. No fridges.
    We lived in fear of nuclear war. After the US had dropped 2 nuclear bombs on civilians in Nagasaki and Hioshima we all knew how horrendous they were.
    We had the Korean war, thf Vietnam war. Various anti colonial wars in Africa. War in the middle east (plus ça change). Aden was always in the news.
    And that was just the last 75 yrs. It was worse before WWll anyone?
