Summary
Joseph is having a comically rough year. His job sucks, his relationship ended, he’s plagued by prank phone calls, and he nearly lost his father to the virus. When his best friend asks him to donate his sperm so that she can start a family, Joseph just can’t understand why anyone would bring a child into this calamitous world. The only bright spot is an intriguing new online relationship with an attractive internet “daddy” that has him rethinking his isolation until a series of revelations have him facing even bigger decisions about his future.

Interesting
Very interesting with some funny moments. The last 15 - 20 minutes were my least favourite. The ending threw me a little because it seemed a little abrupt.

Nice short story
The opening was clever and immediately pulled me into the story, it flipped between the main character talking with his best friend, his father, his mates and a people in a support group which helps him process how he feels about the central issue. It nicely pulls it together with a few other interesting back stories. I enjoyed it.

A disappointing and clunky play
A disappointing and clunky play (nicely performed but a horrible text that can't be saved by the actors). Mostly unlikeable and two-dimensional characters, undigested and badly integrated politics and a pointless ineffective 'twist' finale. Shame, there were a few glimpses of some funny, naturalistic dialogue moments, but suffocated by dross and predictable identity politics of the most artificial kind.
