    The ticking clock starts on page one in this real-time two-hander full of music, movement, and incredibly high stakes! Even if you go in knowing what to expect, you're likely to be as surprised as I was by the way the story and the myth came together, leading up to a masterful final reversal. The characters were well-drawn and consistent (and I had a good laugh with each "But first -"), but still ripe for projection: we, as the reader, as the audience, know these people. We may even be one of them. A tense and timely piece!

    A brilliant use of the Medusa tale brought to college campuses and rape culture. Powerful and will leave its mark!

    This two-hander is a beast that absolutely must be seen and performed all over this nation- especially in colleges. The subject is so important. I saw the first reading of it and was on the edge of my seat, barely breathing from start to end. It's intense and deftly written. I love Brandli's use of the Medusa myth and the brazen theatricality and the ferocity of the female character. I don't want to give too much away. This play breathes fire.
