“ Here is a fable for our time, a time when women's lives are tested daily, a time when we might think we live in an educated, civilized first world nation, but we - women - live in a nightmare that often feels like being locked in the cargo hold of a ship headed to China, and no one can hear us scream. The Ordeal of Water is a wonderfully visceral experience that I hope I get to see onstage. The sooner the better. ”

“ There is so much symbolism and layers to unpack with the witches, what food represents, how women are kept from work and thus starved, and how women must be each other's saviors. Gorgeous with wonderful roles for women in it. There is a lot of potential for creativity in the artistic production of the work. Stephanie has, once again, made something incredibly unique and rich, both timeless in its feel but timely in theme. ”
