What I liked

The in your face energy, alternating between hyper theatricality, the supernatural, and simple innocent, direct honest story story telling…coming at you from the different sides of this woman’s self. all personified by a different actress. all beautifully done, with well honed points of view.
I especially loved the dancing and music!
The Overall feeling! Great Direction!
Bravo and Kudos to all involved!

What I didn't like

hmm.. I’m really not sure…I’ll think about it.. and get back to you..

My overall impression

I loved it! There’s a tremendous spirit running thru this show, celebrating women, and womanhood..And specifically, what that means, in the mideast..As a man, i found it revelatory and humbling on many levels.. as I may often think I understand a woman’s plight.. but then I get educated again… I found much of this show illuminating..taking me past stereo typical broad strokes of a middle eastern woman’s experience and into the nuances and details, and evolution of it. It inspired me to want to learn even more.
The commitment, energy and charm of the cast, the constant flow of the group of women, and a couple of fine gents, made this intimate theatre feel far more spacious! …poetic, joyful, inspiring, and at times very funny.. this show, is a rare treat.
