“Thoroughly gripping in its aggressively visual storytelling”
“Under Rex Daugherty’s astute direction, the writing, the performing, and the stagecraft converge to become a metaphorical passageway into a phenomenal other world.”
“adroitly balances heightened figurative moments with beats of brilliant release of hilarity. Director Rex Daugherty takes care to highlight these contrasts, skillfully using the humor to propel the play forward. Daugherty also choreographed the strong physical elements of the production that make the show so powerful and unique.”
“both laugh-out-loud funny, and deeply moving...captivating and powerful; it is the questions that I was left with as the house lights came on that I will be thinking about in the days and weeks to come.”
“In a beautifully expressive pas de deux between Haddock-Duchemin and Dillon-Williams (choreographed by Daugherty), we see Renee literally lifted aloft to imagined freedom on the strength of her masseuse.”
