Operating Systems
“Cutting edge commentary…With Operating Systems, Flux’s Founding Creative Partner [Corinna] Schulenburg, a trans playwright, brings many powerful voices into her latest work. Director Emily Hartford coaxes some fabulous performances from the ensemble, examining a compromised work environment from many angles.”
“It’s a piece you shouldn’t miss. In a time when so many of our plays feel like they’re fully one year behind the news-cycle, Operating Systems confronts the most current and complicated ideas facing us and even feels ahead of the curve. …It’s also compelling drama, with fine acting and expert direction (Emily Hartford perfectly shaping the show), elegant design, and real emotional conflict between characters that can’t be (and aren’t) easily resolved.”
