This show was fantastic, good acting, good effects, and an excellent plotline that masterfully integrates both overt and subtle symbolism throughout. throughout the show I was made viscerally angry with the treatment of the character and yet the clever writing still had me chuckling and engaged. Truly a show worth seeing. ... full review

Do you just want to watch another formulaic, playing it safe rom-com with no "there there"? Then this will not be the show for you.

This wonderfully intimate cast of characters will make you feel, think and feel again, all while thrilling you with some of the best body horror you will ever see on stage.

An incredibly executed story about how others hurt us, the ways we try to defend ourselves, and the wounds we carry. Heart Held at Knife Point was at times brutal, fantastical, engrossing, tense, sometimes even funny. But it was always, always relatable, and that’s what moved me the most. ... full review
