What I liked

What a wonderful gift to the L.A theatre community: a new exciting play from the young playwright Alex Kinglsey, brought to us by a new electrifying theatre company that will no doubt change the landscape of possibility in our theatre community. Go see this play.

My overall impression

This was an odd but lovely, heart-breaking, and thrilling out-of-the-box play. It took me on a myriad of emotions when thinking about women who often go unseen – or whose bodies are not being seen as worthy – as the endangered species that they are tasked with saving from extinction. I loved the subject, and while at first, this seemed to be a weird play, I soon began to feel a sinking truth sitting in the pit of my stomach. The realism the actors brought to their work made me feel as though I was watching a play that was about to become a new tv show.
