What I liked

It was mighty refreshing to see two young women onstage in a play that they had come together and written themselves. New work by young artists! Always so thrilling and needed for the American Theatre canon. Ainsley and Hannah both have such a natural, grand way of existing on the stage. It felt so familiar the way they engaged with one another allowed for a tremendous amount of trust between the two of them. I was sitting on the bench in the front of the stage, and I could see every gesture and move in their bodies. I could hear them breathing, and there was not a moment when the two were not living the play. An essential piece of theatre of women coming together to support one another against male violence by any means necessary. This story was about two women, about friendship, and, ultimately, a love story that left you guessing until you walked out of the theatre. Who did it?! Yet, I found that it didn’t matter who did it. The most important thing was that they were free from terror. Go support young talent telling new stories!

What I didn't like

The simplicity of space and props was great.

My overall impression

The fact the girls allowed humor to live loudly in a play dealing with a serious issues women face was done fantastically.
