    A dazzling, ferocious mix of RASHOMON, Ionesco, and Third-wave feminism. Shenoy isn't content just to comment on our culture of sexual violence, and our fumbling ways to come to terms with it. Instead, she takes on the narratives we tell ourselves to justify our actions, the narratives we use to conveniently judge others, and ultimately, the ethics of narrative itself - all without ever losing sight of the piece's moral core of anguished outrage. Funny, scary, and vital.

    A powerful look at the rage involved in fighting a system of sexism and patriarchy that never seems to die. Well done.

    To say that Nandita Shenoy’s RAGE PLAY is timely and powerful and important would be entirely true, but that would give unfairly short shrift to how flat-out hilarious and wildly entertaining it is. Starting with a bang and letting up only in the most unexpected ways, this violent and absurdist ride is thought-provoking, deceptively simple, and playfully theatrical in the best sense; any production promises to be a helluva workout for its actors, its fight choreographer, and its audience. May there be many.

    This play is a departure for Shenoy--darker, edgier, and deeply powerful and resonant for our times. Well-deserved place on the Kilroys list.
