Holding, while fantastic in the main role, seems a slightly strange choice from a physical point of view: Lucie’s tiny size is repeatedly referenced, while Holding is one of the tallest members of the cast. While this adds to the unreal and stylized aspects of the play, it also causes some confusion, as the audience constantly forgets about this until it is reminded of the character’s size again.

...issue: "People will be able to drink hot coffee when we start commercial service." But that day may be a long time coming, because the maglev is as costly as it is speedy. Japan Rail (JR) Central, the ex-public company that operates the country's main shinkansen artery, has already spent nearly $2 billion developing the maglev. Building an operational line that would cover the 342 miles between Tokyo and Osaka -Japan's most heavily traveled rail route - would cost an estimated $70 billion. That price tag may be prohibitive for a country whose public debt is over...
