In an attempt to evoke the diversity of human experience the piece over-reaches itself, marring the overall quality by including scenes which only distract lrom a line balance of ideas. Not a damning tault as some exciting theatre is thrown up in the process, and by the nature of the project which will travel all over the world using local artists and performers, the production will constantly change and progress.
