    “ 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. ”

    “ The best opening of a play, ever! (Yes, Virginia - her vagina just did that.) Tiffany Antone's mind-blowing, dark, messy and way smart comedy is both a ridiculously farcical romp, and a devastatingly pointed comment on women's bodies and our (collective, in the biggest possible sense) relationship with them - our ownership of them, being the territorial beasts that we are. Plus, this is THE go-to reference for alternative terms for lady parts. (Sorry, no spoiler alerts.) ”

    “ "The Space Between Her Legs" is hilarious. Seriously. It is absolutely hysterical and inventive and everything that theatre can and should be. Sadly, it is also totally and completely plausible should the stars align to allow a vagina to send dudes into space. The satire here is biting and fierce, and watching Maybell's agency fall into question as the power of her vagina is discovered hits exactly the right note of uncomfortable and infuriating. Timely, weird, and audaciously brilliant, this is a play that should be done everywhere. ”

    “ This piece is an astutely written, pitch perfect dark comedy about the ways women's bodies are legislated, commodified, and used by patriarchal structures. Antone has crafted some amazingly rendered characters with unique voices, a well-fleshed out fantastical theatrical world, and an insightful exploration of the aforementioned themes in a hilarious fashion. Absurdity is used so effectively to gesture towards the awful and ridiculous real-life themes that are getting metaphorical/theatrical treatment here. The brazen theatricality of the stage directions makes my brain instantly try to imagine the world of this play. I hope to follow its development trajectory. ”

    “ What. Did. I. Just. Read. And I mean that in the best possible way. This play is zany, brilliantly absurd, and laugh-out-loud hilarious, all while making a highly relevant statement about women's bodily autonomy and sexuality. Just read it. And then produce it, because I would pay anything to see this on stage. ”

    “ Tiffany Antone has created a sparkling play full of analogies to the way those with vaginas are treated in today's times. It is inventive, wonderfully shocking, and these characters are incandescently different, hilarious, and moving through the work at a breakneck pace. Masterfully done with a lot for an audience to consider. ”

    “ I LOVE this play! It checks off so many boxes - hysterical, provocative, witty, low brow and high brow humor, relevance, great dialogue, great characters, satirical... Antone's ability to tackle important subjects as reproductive rights, sexual expression, and gender equality (among others) in such an inventive and exciting way awes me. I would love to see this performed and hope that theatres everywhere will embrace this brilliant play. ”
