Truly exquisite work--lyrical and rich poetry co-exists here with extraordinarily naturalistic and well-observed speech. Levitsky-Weitz examines sexual violence against women and its intersection with family trauma and cycles, Judaism and its evolution, and identity. The storytelling here and the use of time and space is so theatrical and well-executed. The stage images and dualities of Lily/Lillith are haunting. The poetry, particularly a huge and sprawling moment of heightened poetry in the middle of the play, renders both rich internal and external life for Lily, Lillith, and Eleanor. I would love to see this piece performed live.

i feel like it’s so rare that I find myself truly surprised by a direction a play goes so that when it happens I fall hard for it. This is one of those plays. Also it’s about memory so it’s really up my alley. And it features three killer roles for women of various ages. A ghost story told about trauma that will haunt audiences.

One of my favorite plays of all time. Truly breathtaking.
