My overall impression

One of my favorite shows of the Fringe for sure: a tight little gem of powerhouse acting and a script so raw and pithy the hour zooms by in a flash and leaves you reeling. I’ve never seen such creative exploration of insatiable female sexuality, kink and the difficulty of maintaining that spark that inevitably fizzles with monogamous commitment. This show takes it to the nth degree of an actual tangible monster, which is performed in flawless, effective unison by the players for an incredible dramatic effect. The script is impressive, veering between the abstract poetic and the comically realistic, and the performers handle its twists and turns masterfully well. Their chemistry is tangible, and the show is sure to get your blood pumping. Definite date night material… though not for the prudish! This is what 50 Shades of Grey wish it could have been… actual art that tackles a whole lot of sexy themes.
