'Love and Shit, an exhilarating double bill by Patricia Cornelius at fortyfivedownstairs, expose the uncomfortable realities of Australia’s underclass. In doing so, these plays remind us how vital theatre can be. By Alison Croggon.' 

Sarah Hopkins : The Subjects, Maria Takolander , single work review
— Review of The Subjects Sarah Hopkins , 2019 single work novel ;

'Why are dystopias more popular than utopias? The growing genre of cli-fi, for instance, is almost universally pessimistic, and the TV phenomenon of The Handmaid’s Tale will continue to air its nightmares in a third series. And why, even when we imagine a utopia, does it typically slide into a dystopia? Think of Minority Report and Jurassic Park, in which a vision of an ideal world – where crimes are solved before they are committed, or where dinosaurs are brought back to miraculous life – quickly degenerates. Of course, this storytelling trope is hardly new: it can be traced back to Genesis, and the tale of Adam and Eve. Narratives of human failure, of corruption and greed, of promise going to seed, are foundational to Western culture.' (Introduction)
