squirm: a true story

Review by HANNAH PILKES

June 28, 2025

What I liked

Mia’s warped brain. How do you take a tapeworm and use it as a metonym for botched love, persistent heartache, Jewish ritualism and artistic struggle? I don’t know but Mia is clearly smarter than I am.

What I didn't like

Nick threw an inflatable saxophone at my head and I will be suing the Broadwater for physical damages… and Mia for emotional ones.

My overall impression

A delightfully bizarre, joyous and frequently romantic excision of the kind of heartache that all artists must be subjected to on the route to wholeness. Mia is a refreshingly honest performer; they have shed all pretense in favor of raw vulnerability which is so rare.
