An interesting and thought provoking experience, but I think certain parts of the conceit got in the way of the message. While choosing which character was on the chopping block for humiliation did make me reflect momentarily on the ways I, too, was complicit in the patriarchy and the harm of women, choosing who was playing each character made the voice overs jarring and less connected to what was happening on stage. I had no idea the first one was meant to be a character on stage until after the next one was introduced.

Overall, the concept is fantastic and the creepy voyeuristic feeling never left me, but I think the play feels unfinished on the whole.

Intimate, intense, at times romantic and darkly erotic. This show married shibari and aerial work with Shakespeare and such thrilling emotion. I was captivated through the entire performance. Though there is some shouting in the last act that took me by surprise, so be prepared!

The Birdhaus cocktails were also lovely~
