„I am not a fan of political theatre, as I have always made social theatre without adhering to any party of directors with left-side pain or right-wing pangs. No Matter How Hard We Tried is a deeply human play, containing the mixed thoughts of a girl faced with an “already solved” crossword on political issues. A crossword from a magazine found in the dumpster of history. There you can also find pain in kefir jars, bulk laughter, and organic emotion in 2 litre plastic bottles. And some paper planes from the Second World War.” Radu Afrim
