Octopolis

'A grownup campus romcom, with profound and complex ideas about consciousness and intelligence'

'A tangled, tentacled tale... unabashedly cerebral'

'Funny, touching, and surprising... an intimate two-hander that reveals itself to be about vastly expansive ideas... Marek Horn's writing is probing and incisive... manages to express very complex ideas, both academic and interpersonal, with a surprising lucidity, and with moments of unexpected comedy... an intricately intellectual piece of theatre, diving headfirst into questions of sentience, religion, grief, and community from a uniquely smart writer... you could watch or read Octopolis several times over and continue to notice something new... if you go to the theatre to think, to learn something, to do some introspection, its unmissable'

'Fascinating... a game of who's-watching-who as a rapid-fire sparring of wits and intellect dive and propel through the murky waters of grief, spirituality and admiring love'

'Engagingly offbeat... challenging ideas balanced with plenty of humour'

'Strikingly original and highly entertaining... smart, slightly surreal and quietly touching. This is a romcom that has legs'

'Profound... Horn's writing is not only philosophical; it is also bursting with comic one-liners'

'A witty two-hander with a playful spark in its fiery humour and a thrilling emotional journey... a theatrical delight'
