    “ It's no surprise this has received a lot of attention in the past - but it becomes even more relevant today with echos of all too familiar treatment of gender and discussions of how it can get better. Turning the tables in this futuristic (yet timely) subject is both a satisfying, yet cautionary tale that will surely create discussion with audiences afterwords. ”

    “ The tables have been turned in this tight 10-minute play where women make the rules. A relevant piece that is charming, unsettling, and has great roles for two actors up to the challenge. MY BODY gives a glimpse at an ideal world-- but for whom and at what cost? ”

    “ A tight ten minute play that has so much relevance to our current society. Rachel Bublitz in a short amount of time has created a dystopian future in a play that's perfect blend of horror and satire. ”

    “ This play had its first reading in 2012, but it as still as topical as ever. An incredibly smart and pointed satire. Bublitz takes today's society, flips it, and holds it up for us to see. With incredibly real and relatable characters, Bublitz creates a world that makes us question our own. I hope, over time, this play becomes less relevant, but right now the world needs it. ”

    “ Clever, pointed - more relevant today than ever, this is a smartly written little gem of a play that should be considered by any theatre looking to explore the #MeToo movement on stage - and the wider implications around it. It does what theatre does best, creating a world with a distinctive view that forces us to question or own world and our own world-view, while never becoming preachy or obvious. ”

    “ A spot-on, hee-larious satire that smartly critiques patriarchal Western/American society. In a real matriarchy everyone is equal, obviously, but in this play matriarchy appropriates the violence, cruelty and language of patriarchy. I laughed for most of the play and then I stopped because the 'collar' that is worn by the male character was a powerful symbol that references that invisible collar that many women wear in suppressive societies across the globe. ”
