What I liked

The choreography and repetition within really enforced the feeling of entrapment the women faced in the circumstances. I loved the unique storylines of each “housewife” and the subtleties of their relationships. Especially loved the shirt and Judy sections.

What I didn't like

The story seemed to draw to a conclusion very fast so if this was a longer production, I would have loved to see more of a progression to arrive at the end.

My overall impression

The movement and songs and dialogue came together beautifully to tell a story of repression and defiance.
