As the women of the "Occupation" speak in repetitive layers of language, we are entreated to discover the roles and relationships among them. Their individual stories- youthful hopes and dreams- are movingly pitted against the bleak horrors of the times.

All together a bracing work worthy of our engaged viewership.

It's great to see strong female actors giving very layered performances and committing to them wholeheartedly. It's a pleasure to watch these women work. Monica Baker was particularly excellent, but all were very strong. Jenny Ashe and Brin Alexander also deliver lovely grounded performances. The play explores some very interesting themes that make you think and challenge you as an audience member. ...
