No.

Praise for the Breakfast Plays reading:
'the message is a powerful one and made me think very deeply about doing much more to save the planet'
★★★★★ Daily Business Magazine
'An excellent piece of writing, with a strong and highly relevant message for today.'
★★★★ Scotsgay
'The play, Kit Kat, was a joy from start to finish, turning unexpected corners and putting the most urgent question of our time centre stage.'
★★★★ Broadway Baby
Kit Kat is cleverly constructed to move from childhood acts to acts which impact our future. Sigfúsdóttir gently utilises writing to create the awareness of the need for momentum. Never forcefully, not authoritatively, but with sense. Using the future to convey importance.
