See it if you love Helen Hunt, an innovative staging and want to explore the polarisation of society over topics that seem a bit insance
Don't see it if you would classify yourself as 'woke' and if you are against vaccinations (or maybe actually, you should)
See it if you want to see hysterical debating forums. Trying to achieve agreement in a group with very different POV on the same issue. So relevant!
Don't see it if you don’t like plays with debates, forums, discussions and/or are topical
See it if you're looking for a clever, funny play about vaccine mandates. Good performances all around.
Don't see it if you prefer plays with lots of actions. The entire play takes place in a class room and the action is all in the dialogues.
See it if You want to laugh out loud, and see a great play.
Don't see it if You don't like talk of vaccines/political correctness
See it if you want a play that will make you laugh while engaging in debate about a relatively charged topic.
Don't see it if you can’t deal with any more arguments over vaccines Read more
See it if you want to laugh
Don't see it if your eyes roll out loud when discussing anti-vaxers Read more
See it if You want a new play that might relevant to your contemporary world. See act1 if you like laugh, act 2 if you like serious drama.
Don't see it if You have strong opinion about the subject. You may be upset with process & conclusion. Also better not expect hilarious comedy as advertised
See it if You like a well scripted thought provoking story with humour
Don't see it if You are over protective parents

"The play might have gained by spending longer on unravelling these meaty subjects, especially the idea of investing 'belief' in the goodness of new science."

"The evening moves from primary colour, almost crayon-crude, mirth in the first half to something more subtly, and emotionally, shaded in the second, the dramatic stakes for those involved don’t carry quite the requisite heft."

"This is the play that would have helped to keep us sane during lockdown."

" 'Eureka Day' is a bracing corrective to the idea that you can only discuss serious issues with a straight face."

"The kind of utopian consensus proposed by the 'Eureka Day' board now feels like a pipe dream. At least we can all agree that the Old Vic is supplying a brilliantly funny and cleverly thought-provoking response."

"In Katy Rudd’s highly coloured production, it’s as hollow as the echo chambers it lampoons, its characters cartoonish and its satire of liberal pieties unrevealing, if sporadically entertaining."
