My overall impression

Utterly BRILLIANT: an absolute must see for Fringe 2015. While it’s hard to imagine that a show dealing with the subject of street harassment would be a good time, this show achieves exactly that, with remarkable finesse. It tackles the issue from multiple angles in a way that is extremely relatable, often poignant, but at the same time immensely entertaining, often laugh-out-loud funny, and over the top absurd, exactly the kind of treatment this absurd social phenomenon deserves. The cast is excellent, each bringing their unique voice and style to this true ensemble piece. It was well-paced and well balanced, and the 50 minutes soared by and left me wishing there were more. It’s truly refreshing to see a strong female cast dealing with female issues in a way that is accessible, entertaining, and crucial for an audience of all genders— go, go, go! You will not regret this one.
