Tim Etchells intensifies the political side of the performance, using only child actors who utter in unison an endless litany of daily commands, and shout at the ‘‘grown-ups’’ sitting across from them about how the adult world structures and conditions their lives. This is a funny but dark and frighteningly truthful commentary, written from true-life observations – with no concessions.
