M McGeoch

An undeniably powerful, disturbing, and brave show which exemplified the horrors of rape on a woman's life. Utmost respect was given to the performer, who, in changing the format of the piece to protect her sanity of the performer, verbally described to the spectators, how the piece would have unfolded. Unfortunately, the run was cut short (as of Thursday evening), but with very good and incredibly justified reason. Although verbally described rather than performed, this piece touched myself and others to our very core, and the performance which was described exemplified a depth of emotional turmoil, and a need for action which I have never experienced in performance before. Such a brave piece by a brave woman, who I have utmost respect for; in respecting herself, her sanity, and her dignity, to stop reliving an incident which was not her fault.
