Waving Flags

Thanks for being in the room. A few quick questions — your responses shape the next draft. Nothing is required; skip anything you like.

1One moment, line, or image that stayed with you?

2Was there any point where you felt lost?

Who someone was, when we were, or what was happening. If yes — where?

3The play doesn't run in chronological order. How did that feel?

Pick a point on the scale.

1 2 3 4 5

A puzzle / trick to solveDiscovery, pieces clicking

4The conflict escalates across three technologies — loudspeaker → TV/video → internet/livestream. Did that build come through?

Clearly Partly Didn't land

5The play stages a political flashpoint. Which felt closer to your experience?

It framed a conflict and let me sit inside it It argued a position at me Somewhere in between

6Two specific devices — the frozen-video moment, and the livestream (real testimony vs. performance). Even in a reading, did those read clearly?

Both read clearly One read clearly, one didn't Neither read clearly Didn't notice them

7There's a recurring tremor / shaking motif. Did you notice it — and did it feel meaningful?

Noticed it — felt meaningful Noticed it — unsure what it meant Didn't notice it

8If you could change one thing — more of something, less of something — what would it be?

Something went wrong sending your responses. You can try again, or let an usher know.
