BWW Review: THE OPEN, The Space
by Cindy Marcolina - Sep 26, 2019

The year is 2050. Brexit has happened (but it's now an obsolete word and people would rather use a?oeThe Break-upa??) and the economy has crashed, leading the United States to buy the island. Trump did what Trump does, and Great Britain has been turned into the Great British Golf Course - or GBCG. When dystopia is done well, it becomes a mirror onto the contemporary world and the perils that come with it. Regrettably, Florence Bell's The Open drives a compelling concept into a wall.
