Review by KATHERINE BOURNE TAYLOR

What I liked

This story was difficult to hear, but feels really important. The question of who gets sacrificed in the name of cuts, and personifying the answer, is really resonant. I found myself nodding at the end, since the final minutes felt like the culmination of a sermon or a really important lesson- like all good Greek myths do.

What I didn't like

N/a

My overall impression

This is a tour de force and performed by someone who has a deep connection to the material. Hailey performs this dense language with a simplicity and specificity that is really admirable. The direction- staging and technical was so imaginative and evocative!
