My favorite part of engaging with experimental theatre is having my expectations completely subverted from the very beginning. I read the premise and thought I was walking into a lecture-like, fourth wall breaking exploration on revenge in media but where La Bella took me was far more satisfying. It's a play about the villains in the media of our youth and the ones we have built up in our heads. It's a memory play where the memory could not be more faulty. I hope to come across more more where personal lore is excavated.

WOOF! (And not just a sound hungry furries make ((read the play b4 you get mad at me)). A deceptively harrowing night of theatre that looks at the "justice" doled onto the villain(s) that shaped (y)our youth and early adulthood. Kaleidoscopic in feeling but simple like a magic trick in its playing--just two people on a stage playing pretend--Melt.Punish is scary, sad, and quietly answers its own thirst for blood and answers. Is it true? I don't know... but the witch will still melt regardless.
