What a mindblowing, theatrical piece that both exists on its own superhuman, heightened plane, while feeling so entirely human at the same time. Darcy Parker Bruce somehow joins fable, folktale, offbeat comedy, punk rock, movement, and horror in a surreal and compelling aesthetic whole. The trauma and the aftermath of sexual abuse and domestic terror is so poignantly captured in the brilliant, potent, and layered extended visual and textual metaphors for Max's transformation. This play would be an amazing showcase for actors, directors, and a design team alike.
