Gameshow has partnered with nuclear think tank BASIC, which has a large national following and can offer marketing support.
Emotive and engaging, Nuclear Future is a thought-provoking piece… Incredibly-tuned visuals and sound support the tone of the play as it dramatically changes to a state of sheer mayhem.
Breathtaking in its scope, illuminating and horrifying… a stark warning and a bittersweet promise that we still have hope.
The lighting effects were great. I thought the simple set and single actor was really effective and focused on the story.
