The play is presented in a brisk fashion, with the clever use of a revolving stage and having the actors play multiple roles to ...

The Mathematics of Longing Theatre Review
The Mathematics of Longing tackles this conundrum head on with the kind of flourish that round out a multi-media rampage as only live theatre can. Lights and motion and sound sometimes coming at you from multiple sources all at once.
