What I liked
I get giddy over good stage gore and this is some top-tier stuff. It’s a long journey to get to that point, but once you’re there it is some of the finest “so gross but I can’t look away” theatrical violence I’ve seen in a long time. If there was one aspect of the show that needed to be nailed, it was that. Thankfully, Women Who Eat nails it in a couple more departments as well — clearly defined characters with strong performances, dialogue that revels in a sort of morose playfulness, razor sharp timing, and a little something to say about how eating disorders are treated in our society
What I didn't like
I feel like there’s about another half hour worth of story to be told, and I’d be all over it
My overall impression
An explosive 90 minutes that kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. If you’re looking for a place to satiate your need for morbid thrills this Fringe, look no further than Women Who Eat
