What I liked

It is a wonderful concept. We were asked to look at these stories in a different light. The gender parity and misogyny of these tales we’ve been told are brilliant. In the end, though they say they have more understanding of who they are, that makes the going back all the more tragic because they are sent back to relive their story over and over but now have an understanding of how wrong it is.

What I didn't like

The physicality of the romping and dancing, though fun in concept, felt awkward in the confined space.

My overall impression

Wonderful idea to see what three iconic characters from male written and driven classics would do if freed from the confines of their stories. Very strong cast with unique voices.
