    Super theatrical and human at the same time! It manages to be funny and warm and inspiring and energizing while also exploring sexual assault and its aftermath with a gutting directness. The theatrical conventions of being inside Gina's head and hearing disembodied voices is such a wonderful theatricalization of the inner mental gymnastics of trauma and survival.

    This play is so damn good! It's equal parts fun and intense and deeply touching.
