pppeeeaaaccceee, is a vast, imaginative and mesmerizing glide through Life and Power. The play is set in Ephemeral; three people firmly floating chat in O'Donnell's inimitable rapid-fire style about the revolution. Which revolution Good question. A gently aggressive meditation, pppeeeaaaccceee examines our being, asks us what we're doing and reminds us that there are monsters in here.
Peace. Say it slow, stretch it out, make it last forever.
Challenging theatre that really sings... pppeeeaaaccceee can induce a sharpening and tilting of perception comparable to a bona fide altered state.'
