A brilliant and necessary addition to the cannon of women ensemble plays! This play, while devoid of physical violence, is bloody, guttural, and churning, providing a grueling but empathetic critique of new-age-type-wellness-spaces. Herron's craft especially shines in her exploration of Kim and Ariel's mother-daughter relationship: the mother's hurt, the daughter's desperation for distance, and the subliminal lure of proximity to whiteness as Ariel becomes intoxicated by Amethyst's influence.
