As Naomi Wolf Said 'Let's be shameless. Be greedy. Pursue pleasure. Avoid pain. Wear and touch and eat and drink what we feel like. Tolerate Other Women's Choices. Seek out the sex we want and fight fiercely against the sex we do not want. Choose our own causes. And once we break-through and change the rules so our sense of our own beauty can not be shaken, sing it and dress it up and revel in it and flaunt it: in a sensual politics, female is beautiful.'

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.
