Critics Review
‘Super-smart and devastating… remarkable’
* The Stage *‘Superb… a brilliantly focussed exploration of the current post-#MeToo moment in gender politics… dazzlingly precise, vivid and thought-provoking’
* Scotsman *‘Raw, painful and eye-opening’
* Broadway World *‘A bone-chilling exploration of sexuality, gender dynamics and authority… It’s challenging, engaging and relatable. It’s literally breath-taking’
* Intermission Magazine *‘Subversive, painful and gripping… Moscovitch forces her audience to confront their own prejudice. She asks us to question who we believe – and why’
* Toronto Star *‘A devastating tale of the background radiation of sexism and sexual assault that becomes inextricably baked into women’s identities’
* Globe and Mail *‘Magnetically minimalist… there is tension and horror. You lean in and listen’
* Guardian *‘Captivating and challenging… asks questions audience members of all genders will still be grappling with long after leaving the theatre’
* Festmag *‘A quietly radical piece of theatre’
* The Skinny *‘Astounding… a poignant, hard-hitting piece… cleverly written… at times sorrowful, at others comical… a true masterpiece’
* Corr Blimey *‘A piece of theatrical magic… spiky, incisive, brilliant’
* The Wee Review *Hannah Moscovitch
