How can two young people, Louise and Mark live together in a bunker after a nuclear fallout? How long does this confinement last, and what is it like? Will this be a psycho-thriller or romantic comedy? Dennis Kelly draws his hero and heroin with feeling and incredible psychological finesse; their duels, their battles with each other and with claustrophobia, all tied into a precise, dramatic twist at the very end.
“Annamária Láng (Louise) and Roland Rába (Mark) use their knowledge of Krétakör’s distinct play-technique, and teach us all a lesson about natural, improvised speech that resembles raw spoken language, about the chaotic rhythm of dialogue fragments colliding with each other, about the patient, smooth, precise, imaginative craft of bodies sliding against bodies.” (Tamás Tarján, kultúra.hu)
“The idea of sex is always there between the man and the women; in the former’s lame, disgusting attempts, all too late, and in the latter’s wild, obstinate defiance. Both the writer and director are to be commended for hiding the main source of the scenes’ conflict, while depicting the passage of time through situations like the great parody of the game scene, which emphasises the text’s humour and the interference of communication, and thus ties back to raw physicality.” (Tamás Tarján, kultúra.hu)
