Broadway World
BLUNT, AUDACIOUS AND OFTEN SHOCKING… The percussive moves of battle, sexual insatiability in every form, drunken revelry, and the birthing of female empowerment are each ritualized with a potency that demands attention… a potent message about the power that comes when the weak band together to take action, however unconventional.” — Ellen Dostal. Broadway World
