O
“…a sharply feminist production”
– Judith Mackrell
“This is what an intersectional arse-kicking feels like: painful, defiant and right.” *****
– The Stage
“I watched as they straddled the line between empowerment and objectification, between being themselves and what they were expected to be[…] You should go and see it because it is important”
– Es Morgan
“It was angry, and aggressive, but in this really kinda calm way that made you think they might just snap any minute and smash the place up. Powerful, fit, gorgeous, strong, angry naked women. Fucking badass. The treatment of the female body, the treatment of the black female body, the sexual objectification of women. O pulls at those threads until we feel, collectively, a bit dirty.”
-Meghan Vaughn
Voodoo
“The ghosts of past persecutions, present realities, and future possibilities are embodied in these two figures who are both themselves and all of us, simultaneously.”
– Total Theatre
