    All good science fiction is political, but this is ridiculous! This play is a deranged typhoid mary story that reflects women's relationship with their bodies - and the government's relationship to that relationship. Plus: Rocket scientists who can't identify the cervix! Government agencies regulating the "space" between a woman's legs! It shouldn't work, and it shouldn't be relatable, but that's the magic of this play. The characters are all delightfully quirky and specific, keeping you laughing so hard you won't realize you're thinking. Plus, LOVE it when the climax is a climax! Pleasure wins! Fantastic!

    A fantastic feminist romp. Edgy and funny. Wild and crazy, but in a way that makes you laugh and love yourself more than you did before.
